Yes, neat. However, this file format was already introduced by StarOffice in version 6. So, if I am not mistaken, the credit for the introduction of this file format goes to Sun / StarOffice. Another interesting thing about StarOffice 5.2 documents: why does file say [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> file Fitness.sdw Fitness.sdw: Microsoft Office Document Well, because that's the closest guess that can be taken from the formats defined in /usr/share/misc/magic , and my version does not have any definitions for StarOffice - what a shame! SuSE were shipping the "file" in a distro which also contained StarOffice, but it does not recognize that format :-) Kind regards, Helmut. +----------------+ | Helmut Walle | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | 03 - 388 39 54 | +----------------+
