Actually that's not true. The nature of a file in Unix is neither
determined by its name nor by its content but by what you do with it.
If you pass it to `display', it's a GIF image; if you pass it to `cc' it's
a C program; if you pass it to `hexl' it's a byte-stream; if you pass it to
`more' it's a text file.
