Did a little test, Notepad will let you save as .nc as long
as you select "all files" on the drop down file type.
Maybe you can find free text editors on-line that may allow
you to set .nc as default.
| I understand that it's a basic word processing program,
| and I know how to rename it after the fact. The problem
| is that we are editing code for one of our punching
| machines, and it can only read a file with a ".nc"
| extension. We update numerous files a day and to have to
| rename after the fact is a real pain.
| The office over has the same version of XP on it and
| wordpad let's us save-as with the ".nc" only (it doesn't
| add ".txt").
| I thought it may be an entry in the registry that is
| different, but I can't seem to find it.
| Any suggestions?
| Thanks,
| Ed
