opening large access-log files

I hope someone else on this list has large access-log files and can open them.

Mine, from last week, is 81,847kb and I have not found anything that will 
allow me to open it and edit it. IF the program will let me open it (Word) 
when I start to edit it, it crashes. Notepad won't even open it, same with 
Edit Pad, Text Pad and a few other Notepad-like programs. After a short 
period of time, I can tell it stopped. Ctrl-Alt-Delete shows "*program* not 
responding".

Using a KMD6/333 and 256 sdram memory.

If you're curious as to why I need to edit the access-log, I run a stats 
program for the month's log files, 1st to 30/31st. So, have to edit the log 
files to have only the month's dates in them. My web server's log files run 
Sun-Sat, so at the end of every month, the "dates" need to be separated, 
put in different folders for running the different month's stats program.

Any helpful ideas on what will open a large text file?

Thanks, Roxanne
