I found the same bug--some DA's downloaded from BBS were called "Desk Zap
Documents" and double-clicking would not open Font-DA mover.  The icon,
type, and creator were all correct.

My work-around (not knowing about the bundle-bit fix) was to open Font-DA
mover first, open these files, and copy their contents to new DA files, then
trash the old ones.

Next time, I'll try resetting the bundle bit and see what happens.  But is
it necessary to use ResEdit for this?  Seems like DiskTop or several similar
small utilities can set/reset all of the various info-bits.
