Uh...wait a minute...

*My* version of ProSel 16 (7.0) came with an 8-bit version which includes
a version of BC 32 that does handle extended files.  I don't know if it does
it right or not, since I don't know what Glen did and we never published
the storage type spec for extended files (until now; it's included in July
Technical Notes for the use of utilities like BC 32 *ONLY*).

And type $C7 files are CDevs, for the Control Panel *NEW* Desk Accessory.
CDAs were and still are file type $B9.
