Hi Andrew, You say "cedit will launch nsb programs". I've tried Cedit software by Callisto system. Is this one you're talking about ? It doesn't run on my device. The message is "CEdit is unable to open files that contain more than 2048 characters on a single line".
What do you think of that please ?
