Hi,

It should be possible with enough virtual memory available,
although this is not advisable (VERY slow).

2GB is probably the upper limit for JED, but that depends
on the C type of the POINT and similar variables (I would
have to check the code).
A long (32 bit) will allow you to use 2GB files,
an unsigned long 4GB. It might be the case that jed would
actually load the files, but you would have trouble to
view/modify them past the upper limits.
