How to open Cob?

Okay so I've recently found myself in a situation where I need to edit some .cob files but when I open them with notepad, well, it's quite a mess. I'm sure there's a good program out there to convert it to .bos and then back again.

Can anybody help me?

You don't open COB, you open BOS instead. COB is compiled code, it's produced from BOS (which is source code) using Scriptor (which is the compiler).
In the event BOS file is not provided for the script in question, Scriptor has a de-compile mode which can extract the source back from a COB. That's usable, but of course you won't get things like sensible variable names or comments that might have been in the original BOS.
That question would be more appropriate in the mods subforum btw.
