EditPadLite (which is a great free text editor) has allowed me to access otherwise unreadable text formats. It's very user-friendly and there's options to convert Windows, UNIX, Macintosh, OEM, ANSI Unicode formats... which I don't pretend to understand, but which have often has made files readable for me when all else failed.
