On the Mac, you have type and creator settings to tell the Mac which app created which file. On Windows, you have those 2 or 3 character DOS extensions (MetaCard's being ".mc"). My question is this: If I create an app for Windows, what do I do about the DOS extension? How do I know what has and has not been used? What do I have permission to use? Apple has a database online of creators. Does Microsoft have a similar database for Windows and DOS extensions? Do I have to fart around with modifying the registry? Yuck. Thanks in advance for any replies... :) Richard MacLemale Instructional Technology Specialist James W.
