[Ham-Computers] DOS File Size Limit?

[Gary McKelvie]

Hi Duane
There was a file size limit in dos about that size can't remember it 
exactly,but if you use the text editor  that came with DOS that should over 
come that problem IIRC.
To access the text editor type the word edit at the C prompt. Then go to 
File ,Open dialogue boxes and find the file you want to read.
