and the door opened wide...

I was always wondering how to read various files that were in computer mumbo jumbo.  Since the only computer oriented course I ever took was in 1974.   We were given a stack of Florida voting cards and asked to knock out the chads and create a program or something.  

Anyway, this will be for newbies who want to open the door.   I found stuff that really needed to be deleted.

It's called Textview.

zappa - You mean I'll be able to use that to read what things like OE's back-up files say - in plain English? Pete

 

LOL.  Gee Pete I've got so much to read now that I haven't gotten there yet.  I'm sure you will let me know.  zappa

 

   zappa

   is it a command line program?

Snowman, based on the fact I don't know what that means I would say no!

It's very easy you just double click on the file you want to read and presto.  User interface is as much as double clicking.
