First download a piece of shareware called "Snitch," which, when installed, takes the place of "Get Info." The upper righthand panel of Snitch shows the Type and Creator codes of the file on which you are getting the info. For example, if you did a Get Info on a SimpleText document, you'd find the Type and Creator codes to be "TEXT" and "ttxt." Looking up the Creator code in the Type/Creator DB, you'd find this entry: File Name Crea Type Comments Category SimpleText--Document TEXT ttxt SimpleText/TeachText Text File "Snitch" is shareware and was written by Mitch Jones. Take a look at his web site. http://www.niftyneato.com "Type/Creator DB" was written by Ilan Szekely and also is Shareware.
