just be aware of the mode

Q3: What are the limits for files sizes?

A: UltraViewer can show, in Text/Binary/Hex/Unicode modes, files of any size. You can quickly scroll huge files in mentioned view modes, as UV holds in memory only small amount of file data (approximately 120-180 Kb), and not the whole file contents.

But you cannot open huge files in RTF/UTF-8 mode or in Plugins mode, because RichEdit control and most of plugins try to load the whole file contents and this will be very slow and will fail. -Ultra Viewer FAQ

That sounds a bit weird - there's nothing about the RichEdit control that requires a full file to be loaded into memory, you can stream in and out as you desire.

Lashiec:
Universal Viewer won't help in this particular case, since it uses Trident to parse and render HTML. That is, it would be exactly the same as using IE. If it wasn't for the web view requirement, it would be able to do without a hitch, but so could hundreds of other apps.
