File utility erroneously recognizes RealMedia (magic .RMF) files as a "troff or preprocessor input text". RealAudio (magic .ra\0375) are corretly recognized as "realaudio sound file". I believe there are two seperate problems here: 1) Magic .RMF (probably - .RMF\0) is not known. 2) Any file that starts with a dot and has >= 3 bytes would be recognized as a "troff or preprocessor input text". IMHO this pattern is too general.
I have added experimental support for realmedia files to file-3.26-6 and later. However, I haven't tested it. If you could test it and get back to me with whether or not it works, that would be great. I don't have a realmedia file on hand, so if you could send me the header for one as well (if it doesn't work as I coded it), I will make sure it works in the next release. ------- Email Received From Alexey Nogin <ayn2> 03/22/99 16:06 -------
