It neglects the -f option which reads in filenames from the next file in
the command line and then determines the type of file for each of those
filenames.

BTW: Regarding Dan Geers report [cf  bugs #1579], the problem is byte
order between the RT and VAX in the header lookup. File can probably be
hacked to do a byteswap and check the magic number to determine the RT
types and visa-versa. (more just checks magic numbers...)

File will also have to check for Z0MAGIC for the next release (two more
lines)



Tounge-twister version:
It neglects the -f option which reads the next file in the command line
and then tells the type of file for each file in that file.
