Determining type of file
Hello,
I'm attempting to modify a script so it can be executed via a batch scheduler. Part of the script calls a program called direct (which I believe may have something to do with Connect Direct). I have tried cat and vi on the file; cat returns absolute gibberish, vi states the file is executable. I need to know the purpose of the program (it's inputs/outputs) and any parameters it requires. Short of running it (it's on a live server) is there a way of finding out what type of program it is so I can view the code? Any help would be appreciated!

Code:
# file myfile
