Hi,

I am please to announce that file-5.43 is now available. There is
one new feature: the ability to parse octal numbers inside tar
files authored by Michal Gorny. The rest are all bug fixes as
described below. You can download the tar file as usual from:

	ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.43.tar.gz

Best,

christos
