Hi Don,
thanks for pointing out that my post was not that clear - I did not suggest to copy the Linux magic file to AIX (and am nearly sure that it would not work), but my post can be interpreted like that.
The magic file would be my starting point if I'd have to solve JeanM-1's problem (and the Byte Order Mark the first thing I'd start playing around with to see if I get anywhere).

NAME
fileutil::magic::cfront - Generator core for compiler of magic(5) files
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require fileutil::magic::cfront ?1.0?
package require fileutil::magic::cgen ?1.0?
package require fileutil::magic::rt ?1.0?
package require struct::list
package require fileutil
::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...
::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname path...
::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides the frontend of a compiler of magic(5) files into recognizers based on the fileutil::magic::rt recognizer runtime
package. For the generator backed used by this compiler see the package fileutil::magic::cgen.
COMMANDS
::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...
This command takes the paths of one or more files and directories and compiles all the files, and the files in all the directories
into a single recognizer for all the file types specified in these files.
All the files have to be in the format specified by magic(5).
The result of the command is a Tcl script containing the generated recognizer.
::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname path...
This command behaves like ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile with regard to the specified path arguments, then wraps the resulting
recognizer script into a procedure named procname, puts code setting up the namespace of procname in front, and returns the result-
ing script.
::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...
This command uses ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef to compile each of the paths into a recognizer procedure and installs the
result in the current interpreter.
The name of each new procedure is derived from the name of the file/directory used in its creation, with file/directory "FOO" caus-
ing the creation of procedure ::fileutil::magic::/FOO::run.
