I was interested in trying this but when I run the installer I get
Unzip32.dll not found so I'm unable to install. Am I missing
something?

This is just a wild guess...but I'd say you're missing the file called
"unzip32.dll."

This program is a big improvement over EditPad Pro (my usual reader) when
doing large files, as I am now doing. Nice program, pleasant to look at, and
feature-rich. The only thing is, you have to search a bit to find all the good
stuff this proggy has: the help pop-ups are in a very small font!

I downloaded the program the other day. Yes, very nice. What I would love
to see is the ability to read a large file without having to do all the
clean-up work each time. I have a text file >7 meg that I test with. This
program read it in just fine. I saved the file in textreader format, then
re-opened the saved file, and it had to do some maintainence again. Took a
very long time.

Nice program -- thanks for it.

That's funny. I don't recall having to save the file. And I set it to open
with the previous loaded file each time. Seems to preserve
optional settings, too.

Hmmm, funny stuff, didn't work for me.

Perhaps I'll try it again.

Thanks.
