NFO Viewer

NFO Viewer is an open source and free graphical software designed to act as a viewer for NFO files. It supports ASCII art in the CP437 codepage.

NFO files can also be viewed with a standard text editor or word processing application, but in many cases they are special and require a dedicated viewer. This is where NFO Viewer comes into play, offering font and encoding settings, clickable hyperlinks and automatic window size.

NFO Viewer is written in GTK+ and works with all Unix-like systems, including Linux, BSD and Solaris.
