Actually, the information about whether its 32- or 64-bit is there but not in the default information you presented. When you are in filepeek, simply enter "0" (zero) and you get a display something like:

00000000 : ACEF010C 00000002 00000000 00000075  |    ............u...
00000010 : 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000  |    ................
00000020 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000  |    ................
00000030 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000  |    ................

The first word (ACEF010C) contains the information. The 1 signifies 32-bit, while a 2 signifies 64-bit. "C" is the rev of the file (we started at zero long ago!). There are other utilities within BASIC, there are /etc/magic files floating around and I'm sure other methods for deriving 64-bitness.

As far as filepeek, I don't think you'll find much information. The best I know of is once you are inside filepeek, enter a ? to display internal help. They are usually 1, 2 or 3 character commands, some of which, still to this day, I'm sure are not implemented (those will be in upper case). The one that can cause damage is "w" (write).

According to the UVCONFIG file:

# 64BIT_FILES
# A value of 1 results in the creation
#   of 64-bit files (ONLY valid on 64-bit capable platforms).

What are 64-bit capable platforms? ..

I ran filepeek on my file and got:
filepeek status:
  Active file .......... "HOLD"
  Current file address . 0x00000000
  Maximum file address . 0x77323FFF
  Window size .......... 512 bytes
  0xFF will display as . "y"
  Default base ......... 16
  File type ............ 18
  Modulo ............... 503
  Separation ........... 16
  Group 0 .............. 0x00002000
  Free head ............ 0x082FE000
Addr:

There's no indication of 32 or 64 bit here ..

Although, I checked the header using a HEX editor, and saw the 0xACEF010C,
so it's a 32 bit ..

Also, is there any "documentation" on filepeek? .. I've successfully broken
files using it (luckily - TEST files) ..
