A weird tech question

[vvvexation]

I've got some file fragments on my computer left over from a hard drive crash a while ago, and I've been going through them looking for the remains of some text files I'd rather not have lost.  A couple of them, though, are apparently too big for me to open either with Notepad or in DOS Edit mode without the system hanging.  Is there any other program I can use to get at the contents, or is there a way I can somehow break them into pieces of more manageable size?

OK. I've uploaded it here: HexEdit_v1.2.zip (http://punk.net/~duncan/download/HexEdit_v1.2.zip)

I believe my host to be clean but, as always, pointing your scanner at it would be good policy.

Whaddaya know, it seems to be working. Cool.

So after all that did you find some of the content you wanted in these fragments-converted-to-files?

Unfortunately, no.
