[comp.sys.mac.wanted] File Utility Wanted

gotimer@oasys.dt.navy.mil (Gotimer) (06/21/91)

I am looking for a utility for the Mac that would allow me to
change the file header to manually associate a file with a
given application.  Essentially, I am looking to forge a file
header, so that rather than being a generic "document", the
file can be a "MacSurf 4.91 document".

I am hoping to find a public domain program, but I would also
appreciate reviews of available commercial programs, along
with what other functions they may have.

(Any help on how to accomplish my task in any way would be
appreciated)

Not sure that I understand you but to, "manually associate a file 
with a
given application" you should simply change a files type/creator 
codes for the application of your choice.  I do this with DiskTop 
(CE Software) or DiskTools III.
 
Hope this helps!
