Check out some of the newer manuals for a list of the types.  Or, I could
locate such a list in my GS/OS manual and make it available to you.  As far
as unregistered developer filetypes go, that's a bizarre question (to me).
What are you up to?  Heh...

The aux field is used for different things with different file types.
Binary files have the starting (load) address stored here, for example.
