Here's an easy way to convert type and creator codes of files to Newton
packages. Stick this into the Applescript Editor, then drag and drop onto
the scriptlet:

>>
property chgCreator : "pkgX"
property chgType : "pkg "

on open currList
        tell application "Finder"
                set currListCount to count of items in currList
                set currItem to 0
                repeat currListCount times
                        set currItem to currItem + 1
                        set creator type of item currItem of currList to chgCreator
                        set file type of item currItem of currList to chgType
                end repeat
        end tell
end open
<<

Note the trailing space in "pkg "
