The "file" command can often tell you what a file is:

narcissus:{/home/ben}% file cd.1175
cd.1175: ascii text
narcissus:{/home/ben}% file flowericon.ppm
flowericon.ppm: PPM "rawbits" file
narcissus:{/home/ben}% file methods.java
methods.java: c program text

Clearly it's not always correct, but it's still a nice tool.
