Actually, there are three ways. :)

Also, if one uses OS/2 there is the OS/2 version of QEdit (which looks
and functions virtually identically to the DOS version) which has no
memory constraints (since it is an OS/2 program, and since OS/2 is a
virtual memory system, it can handle files of any size, so long as there
is room for the swapfile to grow to the necessary size).
Unfortunately, the OS/2 version of QEdit is commercial - there is no
shareware version available.
