[UK-CONTEST] Opening files with Wintest not

[Mike Harris]

Hi,

Or open notepad first, then navigate to the file you want to open after 
selecting all files.  Notepad is a dumb editor and will open anything.  It 
might not make much sense but it will display.  File size could be a 
problem, in that case use wordpad.  In fact I believe notepad will tell 
you the file is too big and suggest wordpad which is just as dumb but has 
a bigger appetite.  A 3MB binary looks real odd.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
