There is only risk: that your dummy value is used as MacType by
someone, like XXXX (that is in the Apple reserved space) could be
used by Apple for the next great thing.
Which isn't a real risk, because you can check for this case in your
file open routine like
If myFile.MacType = MyDummyType Then
// stop reading then
End If
The only inconvenience is that in a rare case files could be
displayed in your opendialog which you cannot not open. Which is a
great improvement compared to the non-workaround solution.
