Best of all would be a utility that allowed the user to modify
a map between types/creators and applications.  The documents would retain their
original type and creator, but could be opened with your favorite application.

I'm told that the Desktop has the necessary info in its resources.
But it would be nice to have a friendly interface that presented a list
of types and creators and allowed the associated application to be changed.
