file-4.14-3.5 RPM for ppc

From SuSE Linux 10.0-OSS updates for i386 / deltas

With "file" you can obtain information on the file type of a specified
file. File type recognition is controlled by the file /etc/magic, which
contains the classification criteria. This command is used by apsfilter
to permit automatic printing of different file types.
