This version knows over a thousand filetypes, such as StoneCracker, PowerPacker, AMOS sources, OctaMED modules, ProTracker modules, audio samples and many more... The program is FREEWARE, so you pay nothing, just e-mail the author :-) --------------------------------- Features: --------------------------------- o Knows approx. 1200 filetypes using Idm.library. o The output can be extensively configured via the LFMT parameter. o Set commment of each file with identification string - optional. o Specify how fast the program should perform via IOLEN parameter. o Ignores Workbench icon files (#?.info) - optional. o Use FileID.library (included) by BLOODROCK. This enables GetType to check files with a database of approx. 1700+ filetypes - optional. o That figure can top 2000 (!) if you use the UXFD parameter. This brings in xfdmaster.library. o Display only the filetypes you want to find via the IDPAT parameter. o Scan all sub-directories - optional. o Identification engine (Idm.library) is developed in assembly for speed. o Low memory requirements. o Full AmigaDOS style wildcard support.
