i wouldn't expect that you'd have anything out of the box for this but one
never knows ;)

i was thinking about one that i can get the sources to (unless i already
have them)... i also ran a quick search and found this one...

INF Viewer - Windows 32 Bit
192,120 bytes
This is a free .INF file viewer for Windows 95, 98 and NT allowing OS/2 INF
files to be read on these systems.

i don't know anything about it, though... it was at the bottom of the first
page that uncle google returned to me...
http://dennisbareis.com/swrecom.htm from this search
https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+os2+inf+file+viewer

i'll look and see if i have the code for the one i'm actually thinking
of... we use it with freepascal and lazarus for the help systems we create
to go with them and our own projects ;)
