A 4 letter code for the program that created the file. > Would it actually matter if a GIF is created with PSHP or something else? Probably not for GIFS. But for documents (say for Chimera) the creator could be CHM1, meaning Chimera version 1.0, or CHM2, meaning Chimera v2.0. That's what MS apps on the Mac do AFAIK. Word 6 would be MSW6, Word 5=MSW5. It's probably better to have a seperate version field though IMO. > you look at the document formats on the PC, > a creator field would be handy to identify > the conversion type needed.... :) rjp
