WhatIs This File ? V1.1
© J.Tyberghein Mon Dec 18 17:12:13 1989
==============================================================================
Preface
-------
This utility gives you all useful information it can obtain from the file.
WHATIS recognizes IFF files, object files and executables (hunks),
Aztec object files, crunched data files (with the PowerPacker), archives
like ZOO, ARC and ArcFiles (my own archiver), UUEncoded files, .info files,
Lattice PGTB files and Warp files (disk warper). In addition it will
print all system information for this file.
If you specify a device or directory instead of a file, you get more
system information.
If WHATIS doesn't recognize your file, it will check if the file could
be ASCII.
This program (WHATIS V1.1) is shareware.
If you like and/or use this utility I would appreciate it very much
if you'd send me a contribution of $10 US ($15 if you want to get a new
update (when one is available)).
Please send money by international money order, EuroCheck (in Belgian
Francs (BF) !) or cash, because it's very difficult for me to cash in
other checks.
If you want an update please state your current version.
If you want to use this program for commercial purposes please write
for permission !
If you have any suggestions or remarks you can write to (Bug reports are
welcome too)

WARNING:
If you want to use this utility you must have Arp 1.3 or later.
WHATIS is reexecutable so you can use it with ARes, Resident, ...
WHATIS is not reentrable, so you will get a warning from ARes or Resident
if you try to use this program twice at the same time.
There are still some bugs in this program. If you try to list some Lattice
object files (.o) you will get nonsense. If this happens simply press ^C
to stop WHATIS. Of course this bug will be solved in the next version.
