I know, I was just interested, because this file contained a lot of [^a-zA-Z].
Thanks for your answer.

Betreff: Re: [9fans] plan 9 file
The file command just makes guesses based on the file's content. I've had it tell me build scripts were C source files and that various other files (most particularly Makefiles) are ASCII text.

Hey, just found something interesting:
When you run file on /rc/lib/rcmain, it tells me that it is «English text». I didn't look at the source of file yet,
but if you cat rcmain it really doesn't look like «English text».
Have there been similar mistakes or has it been working fine most of the time?

P.S: Sorry for my bad english…
P.P.S: By the way: I know how to do a screenshot in Plan 9, but how do I make a screen recording? Does plan 9
deal with video files in any way?
