Using the cat or file command on a file, the output is readable. But if I use vim or less command, the output is either unreadable or nothing displayed. 
Not sure why the file output is readable from some commands and not others. Any way I can use vim/less command to display this file readable? Thanks.

I'm running cygwin 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31.

Eric
