[Coco] Opening the Coco Archives

[Bill Barnes]

Crimson Editor (FREEware) handles practically any "Format" it loads whether it's just CR(UNIX), CRLF(DOS), or LF(MAC). and you can change it and save it with the corrected format. It's a good editor for programming too. (options on tabs or spaces for tabs as well.) Windows only, but works from Win95/NT thru Vista.

Note: Crimson Editor has been supreceded by the (GPL) Emerald Editor, which runs under Windows, Linux, BSD, and Mac OS-X. and "Right now it's not ready for download - you can download what we have in the Subversion repository if you want, but unless you're an experienced coder, you're likely to find it won't do what you think - it's not a usable download unless you can compile the software yourself. Full downloads will be made available soon"
