Ah ok, I think I have misunderstood the purpose of the magic number. I thought the magic number was a way of identifying the file so a program knows the structure and how to read it, but this doesn't appear to be the case. There are many files I have which actually all start with the same magic number ("PRJX") but the structures are completely different.
In this case, is it actually the file extension that is important, not the magic number? The files all have different extensions as they are for different things.
