>Description:
The /etc/magic entry for Apple II ShrinkIt archives (aka NuFX or
NuFile Exchange) is incorrect. The ID for NuFX files is "NuFile", but
with the high bit alternating between 0 and 1, i.e. 0x4e 0xf5 0x46
0xe9 0x6c 0xe5. The first /etc/magic entry, "NuFile" would actually be
for a corrupted archive, one transferred through a 7-bit link,
perhaps. The second entry, "N\xf5F\xe9l\xe5", doesn't work because of
the "\xf5F" being interpreted as one character, instead of two.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run file on a ShrinkIt archive (available from Apple II software
archives, such as ground.isca.uiowa.edu :)
