When moving text files created or modified with TextEdit on Mac OS 10.2 to Mac OS 9, I find no OS 9 text editing app that will open them, even those stored as plain text.
How do other deal with this? Is there a recommended cross Mac platform text editor? [Preferably something without "Microsoft" in its pedigree.]

I use free BBEdit Lite which, whilst being technically "discontinued", is still available for download at:
http://www.barebones.com/products/bblite/index.shtml
and works well with Mac OS Classic up to and including Mac OS 9.2.2 and also with Mac OS X from 10.1 to 10.3.2!
Of course, the full BBEdit is very good, but also expensive at $179.
I use TextPad on the PC, which costs a very reasonable $29, and can be downloaded from:
http://www.textpad.com/
BBEdit (Lite or Full) and TextPad cope well with Mac, PC and Unix text files.
Cheers
Peter
