compression type-creator code

2001-02-22 Thread Jim Sims 

I am using:

on mouseUp
   answer file "which"
   put it into tFile
   put tFile  ".gz" into tNewFile
   put compress(url ("binfile:"  tFile)) into url ("binfile:"  tNewFile)
end mouseUp

This will produce a compressed file that opens with 'StuffIt Expander'
and the resulting decompressed file works fine after I have changed
the Type  Creator code (I use 'Snitch').

Is there a way to eliminate this last step (setting the TC code) so
that the decompressed file is usable right away after decompressing
with 'StuffIt Expander'?

Set the fileType global before putting into the URL - it will then use
create the file with that signature.
