Model.ini & Linux was created by Gramps50
I'm not a Windows user, I have and old laptop with XP on it that I use once in a while. Which bring me to my problem I would say that AG least 50% of the model.ini files I download from here will not open on my Linux Mint laptop. I am however able to open them on my Android tablet. The error "puma has not been able to detect the character encoding" Tried several different text editors with the same results.

Notepad++ will open then in Windows but there are a bunch of NUL's at the end. Remove them and save then I can open/edit them in Linux.
In Linux I can open them using LibreOffice Writer, the NUL's at the end are displayed as ###, delete them then save as a text file and Puma will now open/edit them.

The null characters at the end on the model.ini can be ignored or removed while you edit. Those characters are artifacts of the file storage method used by deviation. Glad to see there is a good workaround for you.

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

Puma is to smart for your own good. You just need a simple byte-oriented text editor, not something that's going to try and project you from yourself, or do word processing, or whatever.
I use any of vi, emacs or ed on my Unix boxes.

gedit does the same as Puma none of the GUI text editors I have tried have worked, the cli editors will. I need a Notepad++ for Linux.

Thanks for the tip to use LibreOffice Writer. Works well.
Before this I was using nano from the command line, which works but is less than charmingly retro to use.
I run Linux Mint 17.3 for most things, as later versions create various issues for me.
