i find that /usr/bin/file on a 6.0R rtpc tends to call
unstripped vax executables ``commands text'', whereas
/usr/ucb/more at least can discern that they are not
text files. if stripped, /usr/bin/file calls it ``data''.
;-) if it can identify ``jfr or pdp-11 unix 411 executable''
;-) it ought to be able to handle this one.
