: I was able to down load the above. Can you get it KenK? Yep. DLed with DSL working again in a few seconds. Unfortunately, I didn't check more than the first few pages displayed in Foxit and ended up printing the many-paged Spanish version in the second half of the file. Bet I'll be more careful next time! -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

There is a program here, ported from the Linux/Unix world, which determines file type via examination of particular bytes at particular offsets. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm Unfortunately, the dummies made it just about as difficult as possible to install. The executable ("file.exe"), needs to have a copy of the "magic" file located in a parallel folder relative to the installation point. It isn't sufficient to just throw a copy of "file.exe" and the associated "magic" file into the same folder, as the program will not look in its own folder. That means, for analysis purposes, I have to move the data file to be analysed, to the bin folder containing "file.exe". The program gives a one-line output per file. It has around a hundred different classifications for text files for example, which can be a blessing or a curse, depending on what you're doing. It can analyze a text file and determine the line ending format is "mixed", with some lines having CR-LF, and others just CR, or whatever. It can detect PDF files. And if there was such a thing as a DEV, it would have an entry for it. So if you don't like examining incoming files with a hex editor, to get some idea what is inside, there is "file.exe" to use for classification purposes. It is not thrown off by file extension. For example, if I take a PDF file and store it as "some.txt", file.exe some.txt some.txt: Acrobat PDF file would be the result. It does not pay attention to the extension, but does the determination itself. And the "magic" file it uses, steers the classification process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command) While it's possible to import a newer version of a magic file (one with more classifications than the one you've already got), I haven't bothered with that. If I really really needed to know, I'd just boot a modern Linux LiveCD and run the determination from there. file /media/mount/WinXP/downloads/some.txt some.txt: Acrobat PDF file Installer files are a different matter, and getting a classification like "Inno Setup" wouldn't tell you a damn thing. So it doesn't scan a file at every possible level. HTH, Paul |

Looks like you downloaded a device driver file from some unidentified site. The LG site has the downloads for the user manuals (English and Spanish) and they are PDF files, not DEV files. See my other reply for the URL. |
