It first shipped with Windows 1.x and barely improved since then. In
Windows 11 they ported it to UWP which was probably the most significant
change in its almost 40 years long history :-D

Replace it with Notepad++ or something similar. You won't look back...

Folks, I opened the ADF in Notepad, wall of text. Here is a haphazard
cheap reformat. If you actually want a reformatted ADF for your McIDE,
I'd suggest you refer to a real ADF for a formatting example...

The formatting is actually ok, it just uses Unix line endings for some
reason. Not the best choice for a file intended for a DOS-based
configuration system... lol.

Any half-decent plain text editor will display the contents correctly
and will also offer conversion between the three usual line ending formats.

Here is the original file with CRLF line endings and no other changes: https://ardent-tool.com/adapters/adf/@71f1.adf

All that being said, the ADF parser doesn't give a fook about any of
this. As long as there is at least one white character between the
tokens, it's happy.

Actually, looks like Notepad started as a Multiplan application! So, it
already is 40 years old. Wow, TIL... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Notepad
