I installed GNU Emacs 21.3 on Windows XP. Emacs displays this message while
opening file:
"find-file-noselect-1: Maximum buffer size exceeded"
and doesn't load file.
I've found this information on gnu.emacs.help news group written by Stefan
Monnier on 11 January 2005:

On 32bit systems, the maximum file size in Emacs-21.3 is 128MB.
In Emacs-CVS, it's been pushed to 256MB.
It can be fairly easily be pushed further to 512MB, tho the corresponding
patch is not in Emacs-CVS.

If that's not good enough:
1 - use a 64bit system (with an Emacs compiled accordingly).
2 - split your file into smaller chunks.
3 - use XEmacs whose max is 1GB.

So ... did you mean using XEmacs?

the link here might help, it supports gigabyte and even terabyte size files, but I must stress I’ve not used it myself so don't know how good it is, would welcome feedback from other though as you can download it for a 30 day trial.
