With most Ascii edititors "vi" included is they try to load the data on
the your tty terminal. You will then get the error "file to large, loading
partial file".
A good alternative would be to use filters that directly work on the ascii
file.
As these are gnu tools they might also be available on the windows
platform.
Try using "grep, egrep, sed & awk" (Most come installed with all unix
machines)
