From: "Paul Ranson" 

It's not so much Notepad that has the problem but the edit control
implementation in Windows, which is 16bit in Win9x and 32 in every version
of NT ever. Wordpad uses the Rich Text control which was new for Win9x so
is 32bit. I haven't seen anything Windows but W2K and XPVarious for so long
that this is like a trip down somewhere smelly and dank.

I think you could take the Win9x binary to NT and have it open a huge file,
unless MS have locked the versions together to prevent it starting.
