Re: [NTLK] PackType

I recall it exists but I do not remember where it is.

Though this reminds me that I always forgot to post these AppleScripts
I have. I must have written/adapted them from others. In case you want
to see what happens. Just paste each of them in a separate Script
Editor window and save as "Application". You can drag and drop items on
them. The first one will display a window showing the type and creator
of the files, the second one will change the type and creator of the
files to the correct ones for packages (what you are looking for).

I always used them on OS X 10.3.x without any problem and actually I
never went looking for the "official ones" (probably some minor change
is needed for a OS 8.6 version but I can not check now). Still, if
somebody may envisage some issue in the code or in something I did not
take into consideration, please raise your voice before I remember to
post them in the Wiki (before doing that I will check the differences
with the "official ones").

I know that they are basic level scripts but, as usual and just to be
clear:
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER ON THESE SCRIPTS AND THEIR EVENTUAL
CONSEQUENCES; I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY ON WHATEVER THEY COULD DO TO
YOUR HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, DATA, PROPERTIES, FAMILIES, ACQUAINTANCES,
SOULS, LOCAL OR GLOBAL GEOMORPHOLOGY...

Enjoy,

Giulio
