I would recommend a great program (free for personal use, too) called 
EditPad.
     www.editpadlite.com

It will open files as big as the OS will store. It also doesn't gag and 
get sluggish when dealing with large files. Edits ASCII as well as binary.

Sounds like you'll need to find a tool that can break up the file into<2GB
chunks and process the pieces.  Or you may be able to use a language like
Python to parse the file and use ODBC to add the values to a VFP table(s).
