If you ever worked extensively with DOS computers, you probably used Vern Buerg's famous utility LIST.COM at some stage. It was the premier file viewer for DOS. If you yearn for something similar, The V File Viewer is the nearest thing I've seen to a spiritual descendant:
V is an all-purpose File Manager for Windows with a powerful inbuilt text file viewer which excels at viewing files quickly - whether they are 100 bytes or 100 gigabytes.
It is an indispensable utility for anyone who spends much time navigating directories and viewing files.
Tabbed File Manager with Dual Pane interface
Powerful text and hex file viewer (views large files quickly)
Support for CSV files
Search/GREP functionality
EBCDIC support
Unicode support
Extensive Command Line support and keyboard shortcuts
Thumbnails mode
Greenbar mode
2UP printing
Support for ZIP, CAB, TAR, RAR, GZip, BZip2 and 7Zip archives
Support for Alternate Data Streams and 4DOS descriptions
Bioinformatics/DNA search (experimental)
Spanish, French, Italian and Russian translations available

Can also do file tailing.
Take the "file manager" bit with a pinch of salt; it's primarily a viewer, with modest (but potentially useful) management features tacked on. And the 'Dual Pane interface' isn't quite set in stone, it depends on how you set it up and invoke it. It isn't free, but low cost, with an unusual license:
A single user license costs US$20
(and includes 6 years of free upgrades).

In practice, upgrades are exceedingly rare, but it's good as it is.
