Just a very short c program with some pad_$ calls, namely pad_$create_window, and pad_$edit_wait (not to return to shell until the pad is close). It handles case correctly (at least under Aegis 9.6). Only problem I have is occassionaly I got an error 'permission denied' so I have to use a shell script to call the program and passing the filename to it. When playing with the pad calls, I found an undocumented feature which allows you to load various fonts and use them to display a file if the file contains some unprintable characters.
