| Hi,
| 
| I am writing in my official capacity as one of the CLISP maintainers.
| Since 2004-03-27, clisp fasl files start with
| (|SYSTEM|::|VERSION|\040'
| instead of
| (SYSTEM::VERSION\040'
| found in the file(1) utility distributed by
| <http://www.darwinsys.com/file/>.
| this is not good - clisp fasl files are not properly identified.
| While it is conceivable that there are 4 year old clisp-compiled fasl
| files floating around, I think it is extremely unlikely, therefore I
| propose that the file(1) maintainers replace the current line
| 
| 0	string	(SYSTEM::VERSION\040'	CLISP byte-compiled Lisp program text 
| with
| 
| 0	string	(|SYSTEM|::|VERSION|\040'	CLISP byte-compiled Lisp program text
| 
| for your reference:
| clisp homepage: http://clisp.cons.org
| clisp MAGIC.add file:
| http://clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/clisp/clisp/unix/MAGIC.add
| 
| Thanks!

Thanks, I kept both.
