 Hey, I get usr/bin/file: Argument list too long. :-)
 
 
 
 Reducing the list of files I'm grepping does produce this:
 
 work/irc/ircii-EPIC4pre1.201/script/events: Composer 669 Module sound data
 
 but thats a bug in file as it is ircii script and defintley text.
 
 Using:
 
 	file `grep -a -l -R e bind8` | egrep -v "text|PostScript"
 
 I get:
 
 	bind8/work/src/lib/libbind.a:	current ar archive random library
 
 and I would guess thats the file doing the nasty work. If anyone wants a
 copy I can put it up for FTP or just go grab the bind8 port :-)
 
 Andrew
