I have a relative who deals with very large data files, for example 500MB

Any ideas?

Erm, don't use AppleScript? :-)

Actually it depends. What sort of data manipulation are we talking about? The best tool for the job will greatly depend on what you are trying to do. If you give us some sort of idea about that then maybe we can help you.

Not saying it's the best, but the next release of Smile will have a new "ASCII viewer" tool, for displaying and searching arbitrarily large (ASCII) files. I can send it privately if someone is interested. :-)
