Read EDIT Text Files On Linux

"All editors can read plain text files. There is nothing unmodern in them. (All configuration files, all program source code, all websites, a lot of things are in plain text.)

If you want to see the characters as they were in DOS, use iconv to convert the character encoding to a ""more modern"" one, Unicode.

iconv -f cp437 -t utf-8 < file.txt > file.txt.new"
