You can get them via AppleScript - 'the creator type' and 'the file
type'. Just be aware that there is a big developer sh*tstorm blowing
up about file and creator codes being deprecated on Snow Leopard -
instead it basically just uses file extensions to decide what app to
open when double-clicking on a file. :-(

P.S. Here's a script for a droplet:
on open (list_of_aliases)
tell application "Finder"
set myfile to item 1 of list_of_aliases
display dialog "creator type: " & (the creator type of myfile) &
return & "file type: " & (the file type of myfile)
end tell
end open

Anybody know how to determine these? In particular, I need the file
