Summary:

TYPE  DETAILS
0     - data file
1     - executable
2     - Sinclair relocatable object file format (S-ROFF)
3     - directory on some Thor systems
255   - directory on other QDOSMSQ systems

In addition, PROGS used the following file types in The Painter (some
of these even manage to break ZIP incidentally - you can't store all
the files off a Painter master disk in a Zip file using Info-zip!):

TYPE DETAILS
6    = 4 colour Painter COM compressed graphics file
11   = 8 colour Painter COM compressed graphics file
5    = pattern file in The Painter
4    = font file in The Painter
