"Universal" file viewers #

These utilities are very useful to look at as we try to build our "Teacher's Box" (which ideally would be able to handle arbitrary file formats). From the article:

When it comes to viewing files, Windows Explorer does a truly awful job. The industry-standard file manager can't handle even simple tasks, such as letting you quickly look at the contents of your files, especially if they're in an unusual format.
