There is NO generic prn editor.

The only ones you may have luck with are postscript ones.

The reason being that the prn files are in a format that only printers
understand.

the .prn files are Adobe Postscript files. I can view them ( I am in
aUNIX box) using a typical text editor. If you have a postscript viewer,
you can see the actual document the way it would have been printed.

18:27:55 CST, Gen Coughlan (also known to some as 
gcoughla@NOSPAM.ozemail.com.au) was heard by a dozen or more witnesses to 
say....

Someone in this newsgroup has a webpage that has advice on how to read 
this. I can't rememnber who it was though.

The URL for the .prn files in particular is
