Thanks for the plug but it should be known that this program as it stands
now is buggy and is still in beta. It requires system seven,only does line
wrapping not word wrapping and it reads the entire file into memory to 
display the file. It uses temp memory if there is not enough memory in the 
app's partition to read the file.

Its still very useful and I use it almost every day.

You're welcome to get a copy from me if you don't mind these limitations.
