I got this message on a new build FC4 machine that says that
gedit was not able to automatically detect the character coding.
Please, check that you are not trying to open a binary file and try
again selecting a character coding in the 'Open File...' (or 'Open
Location') dialog.
Writer app is unable to open the .doc file that someone sent me.
I have no idea how to check if it is binary or not and I thought that
mainly meant flat text files.
I am poking around Writer but havent' fixed it, any ideas anyone or is
there a quick rpm I can grab for another app that might work better
than Writer or gedit?
Thanks in advance --
Marc
