Jim825 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The reason it's garbled is because you're looking at a file that is in compressed format. You need to do the following: 1. Download the utility eazip. If it's not at this site, search for it on the web using google. 2. Run the command eazip -u datafile.txt to uncompress the datafile. 3. The datafile is now in plain text format. You can edit it with any standard text editor (notepad, TextPad, etc.). 4. When done making changes, run the command eazip -c datafile.txt to compress the file again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
