any program *should* be able to open it, its more to do with windows and its text buffer.

Vim (or GVim). As long as you have enough RAM it'll load pretty much any file, although it might take 20-30 seconds to load. It'll load faster if you turn off line numbering, the swap file and syntax highlighting before you try to open it.

I 2nd the windows version of VIM, its handled huge files before. If your on linux, you could just use the split command to break it into manageable chunks.
