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 pjhst10+@pitt.edu
