If you delete a database w/ type 'appl', then all prefs
and other databases that share it's creator code are
automatically removed.
Which leaves me with the question of how utilities
like Z'Catalog delete the appl w/o deleting the other
databases ... I assume they do this by changing either
the type or the creator code of the appl before they
delete it, but I'm just guessing.
