	I would like to use vi to edit files with very long lines.
(apprx. 4K chars.)  Has anyone modified vi to be able to do this?

I just recently modified vi (vers 3.6) to handle lines that are up to
1K long; it took about 20 minutes.  Changing it for 4K should be just
as easy, as long as you have large process sizes (or are editting
small files).
