'file' tool is basically very simple. Its "brain" is actually in the
file /etc/magic (or /usr/share/misc/magic on some Linuxes) - that file
explains the structure of files it will recognize.

You can find Win32 port of 'file' at:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm

Follow links for download and installation.
