Bug 20812

Summary: Magic file missing EPS binary document support
Product: Base System Reporter: Thomas Duffey <tduffey>
Component: miscAssignee: David E. O'Brien <obrien>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.1-RELEASE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Thomas Duffey 2000-08-24 00:30:02 UTC 
	The /usr/share/misc/magic file does not contain information
	for identifying EPS binary documents.  The "file" command
	identifies such documents as "data" rather than EPS documents.

	All EPS documents created on the MACs at our location are in
	this format.

Fix: 

Apply the following patch, taken from the Slackware Linux
	distribution's magic file, to /usr/share/misc/magic or
	whatever generates this file when building the world.

	*** NOTE ***
	If patch does not come through correctly, please refer to

I keep assigning these to David because we still don't 
know what's happened between him and Christos.  David, 
if you let me know what's going on there, I might be able 
to take these off your plate. :-)

We have switched to the Christos Zoulas maintained version of `file'.
