OLE2 SummaryStream Support for "file" ===================================== Purpose ------- Adds the ability to "file" to parse the SummaryInformation stream of ole2 files in an attempt to find the application name that created the document. How To Apply ------------ get file release 3.27 (e.g. ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file) tar xvzf file-3.27.tar.gz cd file-3.27 patch -p1 < ../file.patch (or whatever you called it) ./configure make to test without installing do ./file -m magic_file ole_document where the location of your current magic_file can be got by checking man magic. Notes ------------ This patch looks for a SummaryInformation stream in an ole file, if it finds it it then checks for the APP_NAME of the application that created the file. This patch is a cut and paste job from wvSummary which can display all the summary fields of an ole document. wvSummary is part of my wvWare (http://www.wvWare.com) Caolan McNamara (1999)
