+his is the "Berkeley standard" way of doing it, and I wanted UCB
+to include the code...), his HP-like "indirection" (a feature of
+the HP file command, I think), his mods that finally got the
+uncompress (-z) mode finished and working.

 /etc/magic parsing seems to be compatible with the (poorly documented)
