Dear Emacs bug exterminators, The 1 gb file for which I give a url below does not seem to work in Emacs. The file enumerates the primes below 10^9, so it would be very handy to have around. I can get the file into an Emacs buffer in literal mode. Thanks for that. But then I cannot move to the bottom, i.e., using M->. In fact, in the attempt to move to the bottom, things go so badly that I have to reboot my $100 Lenovo Chromebook. Is it just too big for Emacs to handle? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IaRNZ1rUQAZ72A7rJYpescmnJhpuGliA/view?usp=sharing Thanks, Bob P. S. Maybe this is some kind of joke. In 1972, J Moore and I coded the '77 editor', which could handle a file of any size, using the 'pieces' approach that Microsoft later adopted. I'll try to see what I can do with Word, if I can afford a copy. Alas, the ICL 4130 on which the 77 editor ran is no longer available. I think that ICL was absorbed into Fujitsu, the cause of the British postal scandal. Here's the stuff you like with bug reports.
