Best Free NFO Viewer

Many freeware files are distributed with descriptive NFO and DIZ files as part of the distribution package. These are just plain text files, so you can view them with Notepad or other text editor but often the formatting is lost.

Try this tiny little viewer that's built for the job. It's free and once associated with the NFO and DIZ file types, works seamlessly, a true "install and forget" product.

GetDiz is my preference as I think it integrates better with smaller footprint.

my vote goes on NFOpad

Combine the best notepad replacement, best source code editor, and your NFO viewer into one with Notepad++.

DAMN NFO Viewer has been abandoned, by the way.

Could you compare some of the others, too? There's quite a list on Wikipedia.

Outertech GetDiz (http://getdiz.outertech.com), from the same guys who make CachemanXP. Free and works really well!

Second vote here for Dizzy. Just drag the file onto the executable and Dizzy does the rest. Tiny, portable...and just works.

Or dizzy, the smallest one, only 6KB
