I use Vern Buerg's excellent LIST.COM and FV.COM. LIST (actually LIST
PLUS, as I use the enhanced version) lets you look at a file almost any
way you want. Wordstar filter, junk filter, doesn't cough on Unix EOL,
wraps long lines, extracts directly from at least 4 archivers, so you
can view directories and text within archives... (pausing for breath :-)
It will even dial the phone from an on-screen number, using a COM1
modem. The archive tricks are done with FV. You can view _any_ file...
binaries too. Use it to scan for questionable text in downloaded .exe's.

The newest version of LIST just came out in c.b.i.p and there are many
more options that I havn't touched on. It's very much worth the trouble
to try it. I use it every day.

(oh, and QEDIT is the text/programmer editor of choice for me... but
that's another story, because you asked about viewers. :-)
