Re: Re: [OT] MAC files {Scanned for Viruses}

There's a great suite of tools called ImageMagick, it's intended for
Linux but there is a windows port available.. [www.imagemagick.org]

It can convert to/from almost any format and encoding and it doesn't
rely on file extensions. It also comes with a program called 'identify'
which analyses any image file and tells you what it is (Format,
Resolution, Bit Depth etc...)

Might be worth a try :)
