Whatis! (C)1990 A.Thomas

This program has come about for two reasons: First, I have been trying to
learn C, and needed something simple to start with. Second, I have files
laying around on disk that I don't know what they are. One of the great
features of Onix BBS is the email system that lets you attach a file to a
message and send it to another user. Unfortunatly if the sender forgets to tell
you what kind of file they sent you're stuck with guessing. (or doing a hexdump)
This is a quick and easy way to tell you if it is one of several formats.
type whatis and the Automaticly locating file identifying encoding
(whatis) can tell you if it is one of the more popular formats. This is not 100%
accurate all the time. Like .com files have different styles. Whatis will
make a guess if it comes close to a format it knows or tell you it is of
unknown origin.
