Not how to 'understand' source code ;-)

Just wondering what kind of little Windows app I could download to actually
*see* (take a look at) the source code for a program (well, one that has
publicly-available source code, anyway--like POV-Ray.) I've never thought of
doing so before now, and don't know what's involved. Not to EDIT the stuff, or
compile/recompile it; that's way beyond me.

From what I've read, some 'text' editors can do this. Or would it require a 'hex
editor'?  Or perhaps something like Notepad++, which apparently can open and
display programs written in C, C++ etc?

What I would basically like to do is see the code the way the original developer
saw it, while writing it (in whatever programming language that happened to be.)
I might even learn a few things!
