Due to comp going down and until can afford redo another computer, have copied runtimes poser etc to older computer.
Apart from notepad read pz3 file, I need to no of another program where I can read file then no where character, skin and all other props were, in which runtime.
As drive letters will be diff for runtimes..

nothing within the runtime should be using a drive letter. All paths should be relative starting from runtime.

What i mean is when poser read's the pz3 it finds which drives the runtimes are on.

Because i have had copy to another drive on comp, the drive leters for runtimes diff.

So when poser looks to C drive cant find, as some of the runtimes are on drive D.

I'm not sure you can do that, nor should it be necessary.  If the paths are set correctly - ie relative - Poser will read from whichever Runtime is active.  AFAIK, it can't read from an inactive Runtime at all.

let me check some of my pz3. I think I did a script to fix scene files after I had to reload my computer.

in OS X, BBEdit read pz3 file. format no change if use "save", not "save as".

a pz3 is just a text file, so any text editor will open it and edit it.

If it is  a pzz file you need to use the python script to uncompress it.

Do you mean to change the paths to the external runtimes in the Library? It should be fine if you simply add the runtimes you moved over to the Library as external runtimes. 

If you happened to copy over the libraryPrefs.xml file you could also possibly change the paths in that file; you didn't mention what version of Poser you are running...
