After you have selected the file via "Browse ...", some information about the file will be displayed. That includes the number of lines and the first and last line of the file. This process can take several minutes because the file is completely traversed.

Now specify which area of the file should be read. The example reads from line 29,000,000 (29 million) to the end - that is, about 718,000 lines.

Now the shortened file can be saved under a new name.

DisplayTool is free and works under Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Since DisplayTool automatically displays the end of a text file, it can also be used as Tail for Windows.
