Hi,
Currently I am stuck with a mailbox of 950M. I need to yank lines from the
line number 16186834 to 16204487.

My problem is the sytem takes eternity to open the file, lest allow
operations owing to its size.

Can I use a command that will "cut" lines from 16186834 to 16204487 and
redirect the output to another file?

Thanks in advance,
--Walter
