	magic v0.1

Magic is copyright Michael Shuldman, it is 
a small utility that will attempt to determine what 
format a file is. Works in a very simple way and is quite fast. 
It is also pure and can be made resident (if the pure bit is not set, set it).
This utility is free to use but can NOT be distributed for profit or on any
magazine's coverdisk without WRITTEN permission from me, neither
can it be part of a product sold for profit.

Fred Fish has permission to put it in his fish library should he wish to.

There are many formats magic does not know about, you can yourself 
help to improve this by emailing unknown formats to me, with a description
of what the format is and example files (mail atleast 3 files of each format),
but please mail me beforehand in case someone else has already mailed me about 
the format, let the files be as small as possible.

	I can probably be reached as (in order of preferece):

	How to use
Write magic ? for more info, the only option perhaps needing a mention
is verbose, it will atempt to give more info about the
file, currently this is only supported for datatypes but I
hope to add other "verbose" formats in the future.
Dont be discouraged by the version number, I quite rarely make it to a 
version 1.  Be sure to understand that magic makes no atempt whatsoever
to verify that the files really are what they look like,
as our unix man page says, "magic isent".
Comments/bug reports should be sent by email.

Magic was compiled with SAS/C v6.55 and opttime.
