The parser that I wrote is for use at work, where everybody uses
(currently!) Windoze 2000. I tried the procedure outlined by Brian Inglis
above, but there is no Options selection under View. I can choose
Tools/Folder Options, and there is a "File Types" tab there, but if I click
"New", it wants to associate a file type with an execution program.
The files parsed by my program are always of type ".log", but the
association I like for these is Notepad. (I look at other log files also -
the ubiquitous file extension! - so this system won't work for me. I have
got as far as compiling Brian's suggestion, but I haven't tested it yet. The
fact that it compiles is encouraging, though!
