a) does anyone have a "complete" list of ProDos-GS/OS file types? (I say "complete" in quotes because the list obviously changes with time and I'm sure developers grab file types for themselves without registering them.) b) what is the "aux" file type field used for adn does it have any defined values?

The most complete listing I've seen recently was published in Computer Shopper (actual issue unknown, but definatly pre May-88). When I can get around to typing it in I'll post it. > > b) what is the "aux" file type field used for and does it have any > defined values? > The aux field is filetype dependent. It contains flags or values that are used by applications to signal special handling or processing. The ORCA/M assembler uses the aux field to identify the SRC files by compiler/assembler type. It would take a bit more research to come up with a aux_field definition for each filetype. A quick look at 'Beneath Apple ProDOS' by Don Wirth and Pieter Lechner show these aux fields defined by Apple: TXT Random access record length (the 'L' value from OPEN) BIN Load address for the binary image (the 'A' value from BSAVE) BAS Load address for the program image (when SAVE'd) VAR Address of compressed variables image (when STORE'd) SYS Load address for system program (usually $2000) I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction. -- Matthew Lee Stier (919) 469-8300| Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27560| "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: {sun, rti}!sunpix!matthew |

Check out some of the newer manuals for a list of the types. Or, I could locate such a list in my GS/OS manual and make it available to you. As far as unregistered developer filetypes go, that's a bizarre question (to me). What are you up to? Heh... >b) what is the "aux" file type field used for adn does it have any >defined values? The aux field is used for different things with different file types. Binary files have the starting (load) address stored here, for example.

These were asked for, and here they are. Copied from the article 'ProDOS File
