In a previous article, snash@magnus.acs.ohio-state.EDU (Steven E Nash) says:

There used to be a file called SPLITTER available at some of the archive sites.
Check on cco.caltech.edu or wuarchive.wustl.edu.  An alternative, if all you
want is to read the file, is a utility called LISTER.  That utility will
let you open and scroll through (forward and reverse) files of any size.  It
is an 8-bit Prodos program (won't handle forked files) but should be useful.
I think it is also available on the archives.  Both of these are shareware, I
believe.  I remember looking at each of them but didn't keep them since I 
seldom deal with such huge files that Appleworks won't handle.
