I may need to compare 2 TEXT files that are rather large > 2 Gb each.
Can this tool handle it? What are the known limitations?

I wouldn't do it -- EDPro will need more memory than 32-bit Windows can provide (which is limited to 2GB for applications).
Bug report...

I saw that one of the items fixed in recent version of ExamDiff Pro was the ability to handle large files. What was that fix about?

That was about properly showing large file sizes in directory comparison views.
The only way to compare such large files is to treat them as binary -- EDPro will just report whether files are different. There's no way to large such files in memory for displaying the differences.
