CA sent me this link that pretty much follows what you said.

http://crm.my-etrust.com/CIDocument.asp?SimpleU...

They did not mention the use of a text editor to determine the original file type.

Thanks for your hard work!

KnightKnetwork Thanks for following up Bill. I found a few of the headers myself, but the
only one worth passing along is that an exe could also have 'ZM' as well as
'MZ'. Perhaps I'll code something up to make a best guess rename.

I've sent a support question to CA fussing about this problem because it happened to me over night. This is one thing I found on the net that might be helpful. If you open the file with a text editor like notepad and look at the first 2 characters of the file you can salvage some info. If they are PK rename to ZIP, if they are MZ rename to EXE, if Rar! then RAR. These are the only ones I found. When I hear from CA I'll post again.

KnightKnetwork They don't seem to alter the file in anyway but renaming it so those headers
must be universal and not something related to CA. It would be good to know
which ones that CA looks for to do their renaming. Please do let me know
what you hear.
