But there is hope, even in Unix. You can set file type and creator using Mac OS X Terminal, if you have installed Apple's Developer Tools. Type this to find out the file's Type and Creator. /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo /Users/thomaskeays/Desktop/McLennan.abc file: "/Users/thomaskeays/Desktop/McLennan.abc" type: "TEXT" creator: "" attributes: avbstclinmed created: 09/17/2001 18:56:58 modified: 09/17/2001 18:56:58 Note this file, because I downloaded it, doesn't have a creator associated with it. Do this /Developer/Tools/SetFile -c Bfly -t TEXT /Users/thomaskeays/Desktop/McLennan.abc where Bfly is the creator designator for BarFly. Run the previous command /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo /Users/thomaskeays/Desktop/McLennan.abc file: "/Users/thomaskeays/Desktop/McLennan.abc" type: "TEXT" creator: "Bfly" attributes: avbstclinmed created: 09/17/2001 18:56:58 modified: 09/17/2001 18:56:58 To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
