Why did you make dfile?

file is an awesome tool, I love it.

Originally, dfile was mainly for executable binaries as I needed information for DD-DOS.

Otherwise, by default, file will append the filename to the output stream, and I found that silly since the filename is already specified in the input stream since most of the time I checked single files.

And finally, it was out of fun. It's always nice to know how some files are structured!

I compiled dfile and it won't give me the symlink target!

See the Windows and Symlinks Wiki article.
