Notepad.

Notepad.

See, this is what I used to use, but I'm not sure if the formatting in Notepad actually is the same thing that other ppl will see, since everyone prolly has different default settings for viewing NFOs.

*.nfo files are just *.txt files with a different extension. In order to make those as "cross-platform" as possible, enter the line break manually and stick with the most basic charset (ASCII).

Use edit.com (its a DOS application, not a website.) That way it will look more or less the same on every PC.
Unless you are looking for an ASCII art maker, in that case I can't help you. Everyone I know makes them by hand.

Use notepad and set the font to Terminal (its what nfo files use for their ascii art), or use Edit. Some thing either way.

Thanks for the insight guys. I'll see what works best for me...
