Either I'm confused, or file is giving different messages on different
machine types...
on an RT
**soup: /mit/1.101**
qatshweepw% file Prefrev
Prefrev: demand paged pure executable not stripped for VAX
on a vax
**m11-116-4: /mit/1.101**
qatshweepw% file Prefrev
Prefrev: demand paged pure executable not stripped
I think that file should return the machine type for an executable
NO MATTER what machine that you're on. In other words, a vax executable
should say "for VAX" even if you run file from a vax (likewise for
file run on an RT executable on an RT).
