How are you determining that it is recognized as ASCII Pascal program
text? I am going to guess using the program 'file' which uses various
magic to determine what a file is. The only way to change that is to
either make file smarter for that type of data or alter the data
itself to meet what file is expecting. If you are asking about
something like httpd you can add items where files ending in .ico are
considered a specific data format when downloaded.
