The first line of the definitions (and the only line for the definition in the file ms-dos) is exactly the same, it won't influence any detection of "MS-DOS specific" WordPerfect documents if you remove that line from ms-dos. But it will allow the more detailed detection rules in the file wordperfect to work. > if you can explain to me why you think this is important and > that it won't effect my usage of wordperfect msdos v5.0 then id > say ok .. but remember, please, that not every body is fawning > over those (in my opinion dangeriously useless) graphical user > interfaces. I do think any change that makes a thing work is better than doing nothing and leaving the whole thing in a non-sensual state. cu k.j.
