   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.   
   http://dennisbareis.com/zip3rdp/iview.zip   
      
   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 ;)
