Yes, AppleScript will work but if you need to do it repeatedly for a
large number of files, this will be way slow.

Can this be done through AppleScript? It is platform-specific anyway...

I've seen lots of documentation on how to SET creator-types in Mac

I'm having trouble finding the command that will tell you the
file/creator code of a pre-existing file on a Mac OS X hard-drive.
Can anyone tell me what that command is?
For instance, if I've got a Rev app that uploads a series of jpg,
gifs, psd,
illustrator files, etc to a server, I'd like to preserve all those
filetypes
when they get downloaded again with Revolution. I'd like a means of
automating this so I don't have a giant if-then statement of extensions and
creator-codes.
As far as I know, there is no way to get finder information for a
single file within Rev. You can use the detailed files to get this
for the whole folder but it is really not optimal if one needs such
an info for just a single file in a folder full of hundreds of
images.
Also, if you are concerned about retaining file/creator codes, you
could/should retain also other finder info like file labels.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get/set them from within
Revolution as far as I know.
Theoretically, you should be able to use Rinaldi's externals
GetFInfo and SetFInfo. I say theoretically because GetFInfo causes
a hard crash and both Frederic and RunRev folks blame the other
(see bug 855). Furthermore, there are no OSX versions of those
externals.
IMHO it would be reasonable to support platform-specific features
like these through an external.
