FREF, 7.0, drop launch Message-ID: <2836C1E3.8691@orion.oac.uci.edu> Date: 19 May 91 18:20:19 GMT References: Distribution: comp Organization: University of California, Irvine Lines: 15 Nntp-Posting-Host: vivaldi.eng.uci.edu System 7.0 decides what kinds of files an application can open by looking at all of the file types defined in the applications bundle resource. so. to add the ability to open a different type of doc, add its type to the applications bundle resource. no need for it to have an assouated icon. NOTE: this requires the use of ResEdit so be careful. You must rebuild the desktop for the system to be able to act on your changes if you want an application to be able to open any document (like ResEdit can) add the file type '****' to the bundle resource. ----------------------------- Simeon Leifer I only go to school at UCI, i'm sure most of the people here don't know me, so of course they may not share my opinions.
