- 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:
