Howdy,
since BeOS seems to have built-in support for recognizing files as text
files, we want to have the same. I'm about to implement that, missing is
basically the algorithm deciding whether (or with what probability) a
buffer of bytes actually contains text.
A simple but maybe a bit ignorant approach would be to check whether the
buffer contains valid UTF-8 characters only (or more than, say, 95%). But
maybe someone has better ideas...
CU, Ingo
