My current favorite for editing files of uncertain parentage on Windows
is Textpad (http://www.textpad.com). It's shareware, so no source, but
it's cheap and solid and starts up fast - and, of course, it supports
Windows key bindings (unlike VI :-)). It has some programmer-friendly
stuff like syntax-highlighting. I use it as a notepad replacement for
those times when I want to glance through some code and don't want to
wait for a bulky IDE to come up.
What makes it relevant here is that it not only properly displays LF-
delimited files and preserves the dominant existing line ending style
of files, but it has explicit commands for tweaking the line termination
on existing files one way or the other. This can help if a file has been
damaged and has mixed line terminators, which is guaranteed to happen
from time to time if you're developing in a mixed-OS environment.
