    Dear Fellow Managers,

    I have an AlphaServer ES40 running Compaq Tru64 UNIX version 4.0F. The
    file /etc/magic seems corrupt. How do I regenerate the file?

    The reason I suspect the /etc/magic file is corrupt is that the "file"
    command returns several errors before printing any output, and when I
    look at the contents of the file /etc/magic (using the more utility),
    there are about a hundred lines of unrecognisable characters up near the
    beginning of the file. Also, when I compare the contents of that file
    to a /etc/magic on a known working system, it looks a lot different.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Yours sincerely,
    Robert Honore.
