VFP website bug form is down
Detailed description of the problem
The VFP 8 sp1 editor has an internal limit of 2gig when opening text files. I have been using it to open transaction files when my VFP Com objects return errors to see if the data is corrupt, missing etc.. It simply is the fastest and best editor for this.
ps. the Documentation says "unlimited"
Steps to reproduce
modify command over2gigfile.txt OR
modify file over2gigfile.txt
Observed results
VFP surfaces an error
over2gigfile.txt is to large.
Expected results
it should open the file
Additional notes and workarounds
Tried to use wordpad (slow and frankly it su***)
Please fix this please....
