I occasionally record a snippet from the 6200's TV and usually need to
edit the resulting MooV file slightly, so I want an editor such as Movie
Player or Play It Cool to be automatically invoked when I double-click
it, not SimpleText.  Is there a hack for this (and, come to think of it,
for this sort of thing in general)?

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...

Errm, cough:

ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk//computing/systems/mac/info-mac/disk/
file-typer-531.hqx.gz

I don't suppose there's anything wrong with this application; I use
QuickInfo and BunchTyper (same place) to do this sort of job.

File Buddy can deal with type and creator code changing too.
