This hack was a result of one of us (Kevin) attending a session on MacOS 8 contextual menus, and thinking that it would make a cool basis to solve an annoying problem: PC text files are UGLY.
The Ugly Stick adds a contextual menu to text files. For PC text files, ones that end in cr/lf, it will 'Beautify' the text by stripping away the extra lf, change 3 '.'s to an ellipsis, and educate quotes. For Mac text files, the ones that only end in a cr, it will 'Uglify' the text by adding an extra lf, change ellipsis to 3 '.'s, and dumb down the quotes.
Just drop the plug-in into the System folder, and restart.
