State-Changed-When: Sat Mar 9 13:20:08 PST 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
As witnessed by the file(1) sources being in the src/contrib/ 
directory, as well as the presence and contents of the 
src/contrib/file/FREEBSD-UPGRADE file, file(1) is not developed within 
FreeBSD, but is imported from the externally developed and maintained 
file(1) program by Christos Zoulas.  You should try to contact 
Christos directory (he has a history of being quite responsive to 
suggestions regarding the file(1) magic database) at his e-mail 
address <christos@zoulas.com>. 
Thanks for trying to enhance FreeBSD!
