Note that our file(1) is contrib code, so it would be wise to first contact the original author and maybe get your enhancements integrated at the true source. If that does not work, just put the patches in a PR and use send-pr, category standards. And please, no AIX copyrighted material (unless its BSD licensed), we don't want to suffer an SCO-like attack :-) Regards, Jens -- Jens Schweikhardt http://www.schweikhardt.net/ SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped)
