Is there a GUI program that can read large MySQL dumps (+200MB), or really any large text file?

Most modern editors it seems can't handle large files because it seems they like to load the whole file into memory.

I want to open it on Ubuntu (Linux), but I would also like to read it on Windows.

+1  A: 

vi (or Vim) can handle it, no problem.

+1 for vim. Reads anything, works anywhere.Also, MySQL. Works beautifully on MySQL dumps. :D

@Amadan - The only problem with your comment is that for a large dump for +200MB it will take several hours for MySQL to restore the dump. Therefore, MySQL IS NOT a good solution to examine large MySQL dumps.

Sorry, that was a joke (thus the smiley); vim was the real answer.
