I find Text Edit on the Mac perfectly adequate for editing _lib.lib files.
On the PC, Notepad or Textpad (slightly more advanced text editor) both work very well.

I see a menu option in textedit.Originally Posted by Spam Butterfly
Format->Make Plain text
switching to
Format->Make Rich text
I guess one should have Plain text turned on.
There are also some new document preferences - to set the new file to use plain text or rich text
I would avoid RTF as it allows for embedding graphics etc. Makes for larger files and invariably includes information not required.
Plain text is definitely the way to go.
you really dont want to do any rtf stuff.Originally Posted by tharding
when i started writing the software, i used to auto generate a library file, and the hog is very very sensitive to spurious information,
its very sensitive to line endings too.
they must be in the form <carriage return line feed> or "\n\r" to c programmers.
macs dont do this correctly.
and these characters are invisible. you cant see them in a text editor.
thats why danny uses the xcode editor, and i use code warrior - to edit library files
