Salut Stefan,

Daniel,

do you remember why you put an entry

  ("%![^V]" . ps-mode)

in magic-mode-alist?  Did it just seem like a good idea or was there
some particular (set of) circumstances you had bumped into that called
for it?
I don't remember, but I checked this: The way I read magic, a conforming document must start with %!PS, but a non confirming one only with %!. The -- maybe not so important -- exception is:

# This would otherwise be recognized as PostScript - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
0    string        %!VMF         SunClock's Vector Map Format data

Btw. on SuSE 10.1 this magic entry is ignored by the "file" command, maybe because it comes too late in the file.

Who put this entry in magic-mode-alist, and why?

It's there since the beginning, at least according to ViewCVS
(files.el, revision 1.720) and lisp/ChangeLog.11:

2004-11-03  Daniel Pfeiffer  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

       * files.el (xml-based-modes): Delete var.
       (magic-mode-alist): New more general var.
       (set-auto-mode): Use it.

            Juanma
