I think Palm's standard is top always use lower case for creator codes, but
not sure about resource types...
Their web site states that you can use ASCII 33-127 (decimal), so if you
chose something a bit obscure, you could almost guarantee that no-one else
will use it. Try "{|}!" - it's legal, but who on earth is going to start
using that as a standard?
Alternatively, there are a few four letter words which I *guarantee* will
never be used officially... Think carefully here... 8-)
