Message-ID: Date: 6 Jan 91 17:36:51 GMT Sender: news@OSF.ORG Distribution: comp Organization: Open Software Foundation Lines: 17 I just recently had all my text files with the CREATOR = "????" and TYPE = "TEXT" shows up with paint icons (i.e. MacPaint documents). Has anyone else had similar problems? Is there any program that will tell me what application is making this icon appear? Basic question - how does the system or application give an icon to it's associated documents? BTW: what is a good program to use to change the CREATOR and TYPE of a document? Thank in advance for any enlightment on this mystery, =Mike -- = Michael K.
