I beg to differ with at least a portion of the flame alleging
uselessness of recent postings in comp.binaries.mac.

The Perfectionist DA would be quite useful to many more people if it
allowed one to specify the type/creator fields explicitly.  Even better,
before beginning the process of allowing selection of text files for
adoption by a different appl, it should allow one to choose any favorite
application that can handle text files.  It should then look in that
application to find the proper type and creator fields to use, and then
start the adoption process (i.e. user should not even have to know the
magic strings for his/her application).

So here's another request to the author of this (perhaps quite useful
after all) DA to post the source.
