It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but Widgets, (a commercial
utility program sold by CE Software as part of their DiskTop and Mock-
Package Plus Utilities packages) will change all files of a certain
type to have a set creator code.  So, for example, you can change all your
TEXT files to have a creator of MSWD (MS Word). These changes can be
applied to all the files on a disk, or just to those within a selected
folder.
