Description robertojimenoca 2005-10-05 22:38:47 UTC 
$ file gluPerspective.dvi
gluPerspective.dvi: PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0
$ evince gluPerspective.dvi
page: Error: /tmp/gluPerspective.dvi: File corrupted, or not a DVI file

 Evince should look inside the file instead of just searching for
 "known" extensions and working from there up.
