If it is just a large text file, use Ultra Edit to open it. Ultra Edit can handle any size of text file. (ultraedit.com). <br />

You can try it as a trial to see if it fits your needs. I have been using it for decades now.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
