History
I encountered some large-size text files one day. First a 4GB file, luckily I only need to read the first few lines of it. So it was easy to use DOS command "more" to get them and copied the data out. Then a 1.2GB file, this time I had to dig into the data to find some information. None of the editors I have could open such a file and get what I need. Aimlessly hitting keys for next page using "more" didn't help a lot as well. Thus the reason why MorePad is developed, who helps to retrieve needed data in a large-size file.
