I asked what is the best application to view and edit large text-files _without huge amounts of memory_ and with the option to automatically wrap lines longer than the screen _without adding LF/CR_ (auto-wrap)? Search and replace would be nice too.
**TeachText** and **TexEdit** have auto-wrap but they can open only <30K files. **SaintEdit** has auto-wrap but it needs much application memory when opening big files. **Edit II** is also memory-hungry with large files. It has auto-wrap-option but there it means that it just inserts CR's at the right margin automatically.
It turns out that **BBEdit** is also memory-dependent so it can't open huge files with little available memory. Even though its application memory is only 300K it uses System memory when dealing with large files. BBEdit 2.2.2's manual says:
