-----------------------------------
Completely agree.
Only 2,386 files.
This is the table of the file extensions for files identified as
application/octet-stream.

|wp| 362|
|unk| 285|
|gls| 60|

|sys| 3|

|squeak| 1|
|bin| 1|
Would very much appreciate what you find, and yes, we can certainly decrease
the priority...I had my priorities backwards. Sorry.
Obviously, if you find false positives, we'll back off to file suffix. I, too,
was less than enthusiastic about a single byte mime id'er.
Thank you!

> I just came across an Apache licensed dbf parser that is available on
