Description:

TypeFind is a utility which can recognise over a hundred and twenty
types of file which do not have their filetypes set. It has intelligent
guess routines which should still guess the types of files if the internal
format has changed slightly, and also keep a certainty score for the file
being scanned.This means that if TypeFind knows about a certain type of file,
it should get it first time - and if it doesnt, I want to know about it.
TypeFind can handle batch operations (ie directories), and provides an
extension of the normal main window to do this.
