Summary
Horrible installer, adequate nfo viewer
Charles-TApril 26, 2010
Pros
+Solid NFO viewer +Nice features
Cons
+Installer is atrocious +Hitting back in the installer will move you forward +The options for setting file type defaults did nothing. So I had to manually change defualt program for filetypes.
Summary
Hate the installer. I now have to rid myself of Ask Toolbar because apparently hitting back moves you forward. Overall program is fine. It is not a product that can really be messed up. But they did screw up the installer.
Perfect NFO Viewer!

Summary
PestPatrol flagged SpyKeySpy in setup.exe
relicteleJuly 24, 2005
Pros
N/A - I'm not installing it!
Cons
PestPatrol 5 flagged SpyKeySpy 1.1 in the setup.exe within the downloaded .zip file. SpyKeySpy is a keylogger. Don't know if download.com, Outer Technologies or a 3rd party is responsible, but avoid.
Summary
A great DIZ/NFO viewer and also a great alternative to Notepad.

Pros
Cons
Summary
If you download compressed files that have .diz or .nfo files in them, or just need a program to view these files with, GetDiz is a great program to use for viewing these, and many other, text documents. Very stabile on my XP Home, 512 RAM, 2200 XP AMD.

Developer’s Description

By Outertech

View and edit text files using notepad replacement with incredible speed.

GetDiz is a Notepad replacement that offers a wide range of features while maintaining incredible speed, ease of use, stability, and small size. The user interface is handy, small, specific, and configurable. Do you want to go through a bunch of text files quickly in Explorer? Turn on the 'Allow only one GetDiz instance' option and click on every file. GetDiz will display the files one after another in the same window. You can even configure different fonts for different text file types, for example one font for .txt, and another one for .nfo files. This is only a fraction of many features unique to GetDiz.

With GetDiz you also get enhanced functionality with DIZ and NFO files, which are often included in ZIP and RAR archives. GetDiz is able to display ASCII art correctly. You can even save text, NFO and DIZ files as GIF images! Even if GetDiz offers many features, the user interface is kept clean, so you can concentrate on text reading or editing. An optional USB-Stick installation is also possible (GetDiz portable version is included in default installer). This notepad replacement is available for free.
