- An easy way to read text files when you do not know what the creator is
- (without fooling with resEDIT is to open the file in WORD. It should be
- fairly easy to find someone who will let you use their copy if you do not
- have it. (I said use, not pirate) Open Word and hold down the shift key
- while you pull down the FILE menu. OPEN will change to OPEN ANY FILE.
- Now you can open any file that has a data fork (LIKE A TEXT FILE)
-
- This should work for any text file that you down load. Good luck.
- BTW try checking out the system file using this procedure, you might
- find it interesting
