Ok. I guess we have the cause of your mails now: Vim crashes for you in
some use cases and doesn't do what you want (eg syntax highlighting).
Can you give the list a chance discussing these issues by providing
examples what doesn't work? Eg can you prepare a sinmple (real world)
example which causes problems to you?
I don't consider a 268MB file containing one line a real world example.
Also what bothers you about syntax highlighting most that you want to
enhance it?
If the list can't find solutions for you I guess some people will try to
help you fixing the issues?
By the way I've tried some more editors forcing them to open your 280MB
file:
less: seems to be a way.. However I don't know whether you can scroll
horizontally.
mc (midnight commander)
F3 view: seems to work. But updating the display
takes more than 7sec here (dual core 2.4Ghz)
F4 (edit): message "File is too large"
Eclipse: Exception:
Unable to create editor ID org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor: Editor could not
be initialized. Java heap space
Netbeans: No error. It hangs for 2 sec. But it doesn't open the file.
nano: Don't know, does no longer react to keyboard input
jedit: No message, no content ? (probably some Exceptions, I didn't
check)
nvi: Works fine! But it doesn't support even the gj command
I repeated the test using a 30MB file only.
vim : works but sluggish (syn off)
mc : same
emacs : I couldn't scroll, it seems to be slower (?)
Eclipse: I killed it. It took more than a couple of minutes - still no result
netbeans: I got a warning that a 30MB file might cause a memory out of
bounds exception this time. I killed it after some minutes -
no result
jedit: I killed it. > 30sec - no
Java heap space exceptions.
oowriter (insert -> file).. I killed it. No sucess within 30sec.
So may I conclude that you should try nvi or use bvi for now?
If you want to view the file maybe even try a browser such as Opera or
Firefox (don't open FireBug ..).

And some people don't want to change their minds.
So maybe it's best to fork for that reason?
