Richard,
A Better Finder Attributes 4 doesn't do drag and drop (I don't think),
but you can batch-change the file type, creator, or file type and
creator information for files.
However, OS X works a bit differently than OS 9. Theoretically, OS X
doesn't rely on the type and creator flags, and in fact works well
with no type or creator flag set, depending on the file extension to
determine how to open a file. And, because you can map file extensions
to programs, you can -- for example -- get all .html files to open in
BBEdit, even though in QuickLook they preview as web pages (not code).
My sense is that, as the Mac OS evolves, it will eventually dump file
type and creator entirely, so if I were you, I wouldn't get too
invested in types and creators as part of your workflow.

I have a ten-year-old Classic application called BB-Gun. It's a drag-
and-drop BBEdit-type changer for text files I download from a
server. Is there a Mac OS X app that does the same thing? I'm
thinking of moving to an Intel Mac and all my Classic apps will stop
working!
