You could check how 'file' does it, or shell to it: $ file SysZLib.prc SysZLib.prc: Palm OS dynamic library data "ZLib" $ file menuhack.prc menuhack.prc: HackMaster hack "MenuHack HACK" $ file stainout.prc stainout.prc: AportisDoc file "Stain-Removal-Guide" then again, it sometimes doesn't indicate anything on perfectly good files.. $ file AddressDB.pdb AddressDB.pdb: data versus $ file rfc804.pdb rfc804.pdb: AportisDoc file "rfc804" -- /* Chris Faherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
