Help finding out if a piece of code was compiled with 32 or 64 bit

Hello,
HPUX 11.0, 64 bit.
N4000.
A have some code that was installed long time ago and like to know if it was compiled using 64 or 32 bit libraries. Is it possible? How?
Thanks in advance.
Luis

Type "file filename", that may or may not tell what the bit level is depending on how it was compiled.

If it is an executable, the file command should work.

Example for a 64 bit program:
# file udt
udt: ELF-64 executable object-file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

If it doesn't say ELF-64, or it is a PA-RISC 1.1, then it should be safe to assume 32-bit.
