NAME

       regfiletype - Identify the formats of Regina data files

SYNOPSIS

       regfiletype file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Between  Regina  versions 2.4 and 3.0, the data files changed from using an impenetrable and undocumented
       binary format to using (optionally compressed) XML.

       This utility determines which of these formats a given Regina data file is in.

       You may pass multiple files on the command line; the format of each file  will  be  written  to  standard
       output.

MACOS X USERS

       If  you  downloaded a drag-and-drop app bundle, this utility is shipped inside it.  If you dragged Regina
       to the main Applications folder, you can run it as /Applications/Regina.app/Contents/MacOS/regfiletype.

WINDOWS USERS

       The command-line utilities are installed beneath the Program  Files  directory;  on  some  machines  this
       directory    is    called   Program   Files   (x86).    You   can   start   this   utility   by   running
       c:\Program Files\Regina\Regina 4.95\bin\regfiletype.exe.
