anonymous · Answer

and which did i give above?

e.mccormick · Answer

Well, is it a Windows based file type or a *NIX based file type that you need?  They are similar, but a little different.

rsmith6559 · Answer

The above files were all regular files.  The seven that I mentioned are the seven file types on a Unix system.  I have no idea, and could care less, what Windows has.

e.mccormick · Answer

Smith, it is basically the type of data contained in the file on Windows systems.
