Title:
  file doesnt recognize MSDOS text files

Status in file package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It was traditional in MS-DOS to end text files in a control-Z (ASCII codepoint 26 or 1A-hex)
  However this last character throws off file and it says "data"
  Removing it says ASCII text with CRLF line terminators
