User Reviews

  • This is a great program. Many people who are unaware of what it was during it's hey-day are ranking it a low score and it isn't right. This program was brought out of MS-DOS and into Microsoft Windows for enthusiasts to view art from art packs released by different art groups. (try blocktronics.org, acid.org or mistigris.org) . Back in it's initial release it was and has always been intended for the textmode art scene. It isn't a Photoshop competitor. If you want to rate it for real you should get your hands on the DOS version and give it a whirl - then rate. You don't have the foggiest clue what you've missed out on. -= m0shpit =-
  • Product documentation would be helpful-which is Ironic, considering this program is a document editor. What is "sauce"? Can I change the color of .nfo docs on a per-doc basis? Is this what "sauce" is? How do I implement this? Screw it, I'll just go to DAMN NFO viewer. Unfortunately.
  • Beware of ACiDView 6! I extracted the files and the Downloads folder is locked. AVG Internet Security wont find a virus and everytime I open Downloads folder it closes itself. So sad, now I gotta look for another antivirus and warn AVG support. Please dont try ACiDView 6!
  • Excellent nfo viewer. Has great read-ability using the Acid font compared to Damn NFO Viewer. But I'm not a fan of the file pane displaying and it doesn't remember the position and shape of the window or file pane when it's opened next time. I'd like to see a toggle button for the file pane just left of the top bar menu or the toggle button to toggle the file pane and the top menu. I'm looking for a totally clean text window since that's all it's for; double-click an nfo file and pop a clean display of your file with the borders set where they were left last time (or a default shape and position saved in prefs). Also, absent the file pane, Damn's choice of displaying the file path & name at the bottom is better than the settings info displayed by Acid.
  • The best ANSI Art Viewer around. Works just fine under WINE on Linux. On the downside, doesn't support ANSI art animations.
