Hello. [Pardon if this posting has appeared before ... we've had a few news-posting problems.] AIX's /etc/magic file for the file (1) program is missing quite a few entries. I have appended a Berkeley /etc/magic file to same, so that more things will be found. Unfortunately, the AIX file command doesn't seem to recognize the "\XXX" strings in /etc/magic. The file's comments say that one has to substitute the equivalent long/short. Does anybody know a relatively non-painful way of doing this? Also, there are entries such as 0 string %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF- encapsulated postscript file Unfortunately, when I do % file foo.epsf I get the result EPSF- encapsulated postscript file instead of the expected encapsulated postscript file (it's breaking at the blank, not the tab stop). Any ideas how to fix this? -- Art Werschulz InterNet: agw@cs.columbia.edu ATTnet: Columbia University (212) 854-8642 854-2736 Fordham University (212) 636-6325
