NFOSTONERS

Some types of applications require heavy documentation to make accommodation easy for newcomers, and explain all features, and how they work. Depending on the depth level, these can either be integrated in the application, or found in external files. A specific info file type is NFO, and with NFOSTONERS you can easily read them.

A neat advantage is portability, which allows you to carry the application around on a thumb drive to use on other computers besides your own. This keeps the registry system intact, so you don’t have to worry about affecting the stability of the target PC.

As the name might suggest, the main resource file type is NFO, which can also be opened by default with Notepad. These are used to display product related information, and in most cases, fancy ASCII art can be found inside accompanying the set of details.

The visual design is clean, allowing anyone to accommodate in a jiffy. In this regard, there are several preset color schemes to choose from, but there’s no possibility to create your own. Loading files is among the first steps, and this can easily be done by dropping them over the main window. Apart from NFO, the application can also read DIZ, ASC, and TXT files.

There are no editing options whatsoever, with the application being a simple reader. On the other hand, reading can be enhanced with the help of various options like remembering a specific font face, enabling box selection mode, enabling context menu integration for faster opening of files, enabling randomization, text wrapping, or direct scrolling.

Bottom line is that NFO files can store important info on almost any kind of software product, or video game. Reading such files can natively be done with default Windows tools, but the whole experience is greatly enhanced with NFOSTONERS, which also provides flexibility and comfort since it’s portable.
