Hi,

I need to edit some relatively large files (~ 200 Mb), so I'm exceeding
the maximum buffer size allowed by my Emacs (GNU Emacs 21.4.1
(i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-10-02 on
trouble, modified by Debian).  Searching for solutions it seems that the
only way to do this would be to use a 64-bit machine and Emacs.  Is this
correct?  What alternatives are people using on a 32-bit machine?


Cheers,
