PROBE (1996) by Richard Mewett
PROBE identifies files by examaning their structure and logs the results in a file for later access.
This is an early release and is still undergoing testing. Many more file- types will be added to the full release.
FTYPE is based upon FileInfo (c)1993 for the Amiga, by the same author.
