Archtype is a free command line utility designed for Windows systems that allows users to analyze executable files (.exe). This tool determines whether the executables are compiled for 32-bit or 64-bit architectures. Additionally, Archtype extracts important metadata such as the build date and checks for the inclusion of symbols and other flags from the COFF header, providing essential information for developers and system administrators.

This utility is particularly useful for those working with software development and system management, as it simplifies the process of examining executable files. By offering detailed insights into the architecture and properties of the executables, Archtype aids in making informed decisions regarding compatibility and optimization for various systems.
