Those of you using tcx to keep compressed executables may wish to add
the following line to /etc/magic:
0 string #!/usr/local/bin/untcx TCX compressed executable
(change the path if you've installed tcx elsewhere!)
This way, the file(1) command will print an appropriate message when it
encounters such programs. You can make the message anything you like, of
course, but the keyword "executable" should be included.
Mark.

of books, and a very small number of photocopiers, of which at any given
time at least 50% will be out of order.
