Have you tried Borland C++ IDE editor? (You may need to increase the
amount of extended memory for IDE under Options.) Open/DR-DOS EDIT
should work as well with big files (maybe a bit slow), provided that
your TEMP directory is placed on a drive with sufficient space for
a swap file.

The question can be difficult to answer without seeing the message.
Are you sure that there is no problem with long filenames that differ
only past the 8th character, or contain unusual characters?

If there's nothing confidential, could you forward the message?
(Maybe as a zipped CNM file, so you don't have to modify/re-attach
anything.)
