ShrinkIT's filetype/auxtype combination is $e0/$8002 -- ACU's is $e0/$8001,
an ALU's is $e0/$8000.  The assigned mnemonic for filetype $e0 is "LBR"
for "Library" file (or archive).  Please use it.

Well, in this case, everything's been assigned by apple already.  If you
peruse the new filetype technotes, you'll find this sort of information in
there...
