Thanks to everyone who responded about my query concerning a wierd problem with file types. Many (*many*) of you out there suggested unsetting the Bundle Bits on the files. Thanks, that seems to be working. In fact I've received SO many responses, would everyone PLEASE don't send me anymore mail telling me about Bundle Bits? I'm deluged with mail that goes basically like this: "Gee, sounds like your Bundle Bits are set, have you tried Resedit...." and so on. For those of you who don't know what's going on... my documents are pointing to other documents as their file types. You need Resedit to do a "get info" on the file which will let you unset that file's Bundle Bits. Doing so to all of the offending files will fix the problem. You may need to rebuild the desktop afterwards though. Again thanks all... this was a sticky problem. -- John T.

On the same subject...
Would somebody please post the BundAid application to
comp.binaries.mac? It's a PD or shareware tool to find (and fix?)
non-applications whose bundle bits are set. I recall hearing about
it somewhere, probably in comp.sys.mac.digest/INFO-MAC, but if it was
ever posted to Usenet I never saw it go by.
Thanks in the proverbial advance,
