Mark,

I routinely work in IDL with files greater than 100 MB.
Once in a while I have to process files bigger than 1GB.
I have a dedicated workstation for this processing, but
my total memory is 128 M. The simplest solution for me
was to limit the chunk of data loaded into the memory
and use a loop to go through the whole file.
