Whatis.exe - Dos utility.

Much the same as the 'file' command under many versions of unix. It gives an output like (from "whatis whatis.exe"):

WHATIS  v1.2  Copyright (c) 1989-1990, J.E. Smith, All rights reserved.

    Filename: WHATIS.EXE 
 File length: 8174 
    Language: C/C++
     Product: Turbo C++
     Version: ?
     Company: Borland Intl.

 NOTE: This program has been compressed with Bellard's LZEXE.EXE.
       Therefore, the above information may be incomplete.

Typing whatis on its own gives the following information:

WHATIS v1.2 Copyright (c) 1989-1990, J.E. Smith, All rights reserved.
USAGE: WHATIS filename[.ext] (i.e. WHATIS whatis)

WHATIS reads a file and tries to determine what language and compiler was used to create it. It can identify the following: Turbo C, Microsoft C, Lattice C, Datalight/Zortech C, Turbo BASIC, Quick BASIC and Turbo Pascal (v3 and before). Quick C is not distinguished from Microsoft C. Also, programs compressed with Bellard's LZEXE.EXE are so noted.

If extension is omitted, the program will look for a .COM file first, if no match is found it will then look for an .EXE file.

Please copy and share this program with others. For a contribution of $5, I will send the latest version of WHATIS and demos of MY MONEY(tm) and MY TIME(tm).
