For your information, that file is not static after
all. I added a new entry to the magic file:
0 string EPF0 EPF -- executable package
file
then I i tested it.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/nightly$ file epftool-060114.epf
epftool-060114.epf: EPF -- executable package file
it worked.
I found the need of editing this file because I wrote
a program that checks whether it accepts the right
file. So it is supposed to be editable.
(this issue came from me :), so i'd like to play
along)
