It's nothing to do with machine-dependant configuration. (Unlike termcap, i don't think there's anything else than /usr/bin/file actually using this file at all.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
