As it was written on Sep 5, thus Louie typed: Louie: Well that's cool, how could I look at Louie: the words you have in there? Plus would Louie: I be able to open the file in windows? Louie: Louie: If you have any type of tutorial on how Louie: to use the file let me know. [snip extraneous crap] Q: Can you open the file in Windows? A: Yes, but why?!? I can tell you that quite a number of those characters are invisible. It's a 2 GB file. Dont even try to use (Note|Word)Pad to open it. Your best bet is to use Cywin's less Q: A tutorial on how to use that file? A: 1) Download file. Let the file take up room on hard drive. Stare a file every now and again. Or 2) Find a 3rd party password cracker for Windows that can handle a 2 GB file as input. I would not recommend GFI Languard. It tries to read the whole file into memory. :p Then it chokes and dies.
