There is a freeware program available called "About" and written by some
members of the Wellington Apple Users Group of New Zealand. It is a text reader,
with some file launching ability, which installs an icon in the ICONS folder
which then allows double clicking of text files. It opens the text in a
scrollable window but will only load the first part (I forget how long) of a
large file. It was distributed sometime ago in the disk version of A2-central.
I find it to be a very useful utility which works very well.
