Euphoria uses 32 bits to store each atom or each element of a
sequence. That means you need 288 megs of memory or virtual
memory to load that file. Even if you had enough memory, it is
going to take a long time to load.
It's very likely that loading the entire file is not the
best approach. What exactly are you trying to do with that
file?
