[ILUG] bash script Q

[Justin MacCarthy]

Thanks for all those would responded, plenty of advice there...

The reason I wanted a bash, script was just for a very quick and nasty
solution to check the files the 'file *' solution work very nicely, and on a
closer look it lead me to the 'magic' file, which had a good description of
what defines what a good postscript header looks like. As it happens, in the
long run I'll write something in Java, as it's for a web based app. and has
a java element anyway.
Below is the definition in the magic file... man file will give you the
knowledge to read it.

Thanks all

Justin
