Chris,
I've tried Notepad, WordPad and MS Word 98 so far. NotePad and WordPad fail miserably, but MS Word seems to work. Do any of you Windoze Squeakers have a better tool for reading these files from the File Manager or from the Explorer (besides Squeak itself)?
I use PFE (programmers file editor). It distinguishes between CR, CRLF and Unix conventions. Things look good in PFE. It's small and fast and I have it as a link in my Sent To folder. That way, I can send any file to PFE without registering a file type.
Reinier.

I have written a little utility that will convert DOS formatted text files to UNIX format and also the opposite. If you are interested I could email a copy to you. This utility will leave the original intact and creat a new file with the same name but with either a 'D' or a 'U' appended to it ('D' for DOS 'U' for UNIX). The new file will be saved to the same directory as the original. There is no help file but the interface is very simple. I have been using this for some time now and have never experienced a problem. Send me an email if you are interested. You would be free to share this with anyone who has a need for it.
