Should BBEdit 8.6 be able to work with large (~400 MB) files?

Yes, and it routinely does. :-)

Thanks. From your experience, should it take 20-30 minutes to open and display such a file?

If your file has a name, make sure that its suffix maps to "(none)" or "Log 
File".

Also, is there a size limit? I ask because my first attempt was with a 2.3 GB file and that resulted in a Mac OS Error -116. My next attempt was to use 'split -l' to break it up into smaller chunks (around 400MB, which did not have a suffix), but I guess just I didn't wait long enough for the file to open.
