PostScript file misclassified as PalmOS application

[Peter Selinger]

Binary package hint: file

The attached file is mistakenly classified as a "PalmOS application". This is apparently due to the string "appl" appearing at file position 60.

Proposed solution: give higher priority to the PostScript %! header test, which is more fool proof than the PalmOS test. Changing the order of the tests should solve the problem.
