No "official" product has an nfo file. Is there some kind of "law" that everything that is a "bootleg" so to speak must have this nfo file? I think a regularly named text file would be better.

Get Damn NFO Viewer and you'll see the difference. Trust me.

Aahhhh, I've always just used 'Open with Notepad'. Just installed Damn NFO viewer. That's much better.- Time

Same here, though I prefer Notepad.

Good point.
Ah... Reminds me of the old BBS'ing days.
Doesn't seem to be as many upper-ascii-encoded nfos as there used to be though.
I got the System Information file horsecrap after I installed the M$ rtf utility. (Has anyone actually encountered a System Information file?) Took me a while to find a tip on how to make the open-with stick. But I think I like the Damn Nfo idea better. It ran well when I tested it on a ye olde Athlon 500. And I like the idea of setting the foreground & background colors - makes it easier on the eyes than black upon white.
One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.
Download shows from Cable DVR (Updated! Yes, it needs a rewrite, but it's worth slogging through, anyway).
