I don't know what software can grab those notes, but you can use them to help you compose a cache log by using the Field Notes capability under Member Features.

Delete the file. The unit will recreate it when needed.
(Avoids any chance of a 'damaged' file being used)
The file can be loaded to Groundspeak via http://www.geocachin...fieldnotes.aspx
