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 4.96\bin\regfiletype.exe.
