I would like the "file" command to tell me something other than "data",
yes even though I can tell by the name (and the directory of course).
Hoping someone has something I can slip into /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc
or that directory.

Along the same lines, what info is embedded in the file name? I see that
the second non-zero recently went from 2 to 3.  Significance?
