Actually this is the difference between the file format and the data
format.
Although the file format is plain text, the data format is not, so
describing .nwt files as "plain text" as Jochen did is deceptive, but
factually correct...
The data contained within the file is clearly not plain text as
Nicholas explained.
Hope this helps clarify?
