Hi List One of these days I'll just buy a Mac and work all this out for myself but until that day...
I'm capturing a user's progress through the troubleshooting application I'm working on and I'm exporting that to a Rich Text document. However, the application at some point may need to open this document directly. PC-wise this is not a problem: just using baOpenFile() to open the document with whatever application is associated with the .rtf extension (at the very least Windows users will have Wordpad available). However, when this runs on the Mac, I'm going to need to give my RTF file Creator and File Type codes in order for the Finder to know what sort of file it is, and thus which application baOpenFile() should use. From what I've read so far if I use "????" for the Creator code and "RTF_" for the File Type code, the Finder should display a list of applications available who can read RTF files. Is that correct? I would perfer this to be a little more seamless i.e. just fires up a basic RTF reader (MacOS's equivalent to Wordpad effectively - does SimpleText to rich text?) and shows my file. In this case, if possible, what are the Creator and File Type codes I need?
