[comp.sys.mac.misc] Bundle bit

Now that I have finally figured out how to create icons for applications that
don't have them, or applications where the icons won't show up, I'm curious
about something.  If the bundle bit of an application is not set, its icons
won't show up on the desktop.  It seems quite a few of my applications have
unset bundle bits.  In fact, it seems that bundle bits of various applications
mysteriously turn themselves off!  Or, is this just a symptom of a hyperactive
imagination?

ps is there an INIT out there that will give you a more comprehensive 'get
   info' box on a file, right from the finder?  I have the desktop DA, but it
   seems to crash whenever I change any of the settings from multifinder.
