as this url shows http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp it should be used an HTML entity instead of the ampersand sign.

  925   Tue Feb 8 17:40:54 2005 Idea Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itBug fixAll2.5.6 cvs[patch]: fixed wrong extention check
current version uses strstr() to check if the file has the expected ascii
text extension ... this is buggy becouse this way a file named
".txt_hidden_file" or "foo.config.dat" are both seen as .txt files.

the following patch fixes the problem, plz apply to cvs:

I added your routine chkext() to the code, but actually use it differently. I
display now ASCII files not by their extension, but the code checks for each file
to contain non-printable characters. If it contains all printable letters, and does
not have the extension PDF, PS or EPS, it's shown inline.
