What you have to do is create a resource in the same format as a 'STR ' resource
but of type 'xxxx', where xxxx is the creator of your application. Create
a resource id 0 of this type, and put some info about the program in it (like
'Application xxx, Vx.y, Written by blah'. You get the idea). Set the
bundle bit, clear the INIT bit, and you should be in business.
