I just re-discovered that some time in the dark and dingy past, I'd spent an afternoon learning how to configure the "magic" file for the 'file' command in unix to recognise stars! files and print some of the basic game information.
Probably pretty useless, but hey, maybe someone wants it, so here goes:
0 leshort 0x2010
>2 string J3J3 Stars!
# Version number, an leshort at offset 10
>>10 leshort 0x1281 1.10a,
>>10 leshort 0x2A2B 2.6/7i?,
>>10 leshort 0x2A60 2.6/7jrc3,
# Unknown version
>>10 leshort <0x1281 Unknown version %04X,
>>10 leshort >0x1281
>>>10 leshort <0x2A2B Unknown version %04X,
>>10 leshort >0x2A2B
>>>10 leshort <0x2A60 Unknown version %04X,
>>10 leshort >0x2A60 Unknown version %04X,
>>6 lelong x Game id 0x%X,
>>12 leshort x Turn %d,
# Flags, an leshort at offset 16
>>16 leshort&0x0007 0x0000 xy file,
>>16 leshort&0x0007 0x0001 x file,
>>>16 leshort&0x0100 0x0100 (save&submit),

>>16 leshort&0x0007 0x0005 r file,
>>16 leshort&0x0007 0x0006 Unknown type %x,
>>16 leshort&0x0007 0x0007 Unknown type %x,
>>16 leshort&0x0400 0x0400 Mutliple turns,
>>16 uleshort&0xFBF8 >0 (Unknown flags 0x%04X)
# Player number and salt, leshort at offset 14
>>14 leshort&0x000F x Player %d,
I'll probably put this on Sourceforge or something - improvements definitely welcome  I suspect the "magic" formatting is pretty godawful for a start... it was my first and thus far only attempt at writing a "magic" recipe
Yay for random obscure stuff found on the hard drive (actually I knew I had done this once upon a time, but had believed it to be lost in one of my semi-regular hard-drive nukings  ).
