The heavyweight method is to use Resedit. Fire it up, cancel the requester
box and go File:Get Info. Select your target file and change the creator
application to anything you like.

More lightweight; try FileTyper. It has a number of nice features including
batch changes of file types:

ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/computers/systems/mac/info-mac//disk/file-typer-501.hqx

Or available from any other friendly info-mac mirror.

By the way, what's the address of the info-mac mirror on ftp.demon? I can
never remember. Not that there's anything wrong with Imperial...
