When I use vi to analyze log files, it sometimes is stuck with the error: 'Line too long'. I can watch the file using `more`, but that's not what I want.

The command view leads to the same result and `less` is not installed.

System is HP-UX v B.11.31 U ia64

1. What does this error mean? Does vi really have a limitation on how many characters per line is allowed?
2. Is there a workaround how to get the files open and displayed in vi anyway?
