FileTpye documentation:
FileType is a useful DOS utility that will make an educated guess as to
the type of a file. Most programs, applications, and/or data files use
very distinctive patterns in the first 3-25 bytes of the file headers.
These patterns allow FileType to make a guess as to the type of the file.
If you have a file that FileType does not recognize and you would like to
have it included in FileType, please contact me at the address or phone
number listed below or through my CompuServe ID (72077,342). We can make
arrangements to get me copies of some sample files and I will try to
integrate the file into FileType's known patterns.
FileType is a FreeWare product. Since this is my first program to go out
to public domain and it was the collective effort of a few friends just
messing around, all I ask for is this: My 4 year old daughter (Rachel)
loves to get mail, so if you use FileType, PLEASE send a post card of your
city to the address below. This will let me know that someone actually
likes and uses FileType and Rachel will be thrilled to see all of the
pictures! Help support the FreeWare concept by sending in your
registration post card today.
To register FileType, please send a picture post card of your city to:
