   I'm having problems editing large files over 300k with vi on our ATT 3B2.
   We're running System V3.3 Unix.  When I try to edit a large file, vi reads
   in only a portion of the file and gives the "TMP file too large" error.
   I have plenty of disk space under /usr/tmp where the temp files are written 
   and 48MB of RAM.

I hate to say it, but perhaps it's time to switch to Emacs....
