How to read mameinfo.dat

Is there a way/program that will let you read mameinfo.dat without being in an emulator or front end?

Thanks,
-SP

It's just an ascii text file.  You can open in Wordpad if you want.

Thanks-I did that and it takes awhile to find what you need.  I was just wondering if someone put something together.

Thanks for your help,
