	Here are three easy ways.  Note that there are LOTS of others,
these are just the three I use most often.

	1.  One of the options in the DeskZap desk accessory is Set File
Attributes.  This will allow you to change the file type/creator.  DeskZap
is a shareware utility.  Other shareware desk acessories such as
DiskTop or Disk Tools do the same thing.

	2.  Selecting an application/document in ResEdit and then selecting
"Get Info" (command-I) will allow you to change the file type/creator.
ResEdit is available from Apple Computer.

	3.  Choosing "Info Edit" in the MacTools application will
allow you to change the file type/creator as well.  MacTools is available
as commercial software packaged with Copy II Mac from Central Point Software.

	Hope this information helps.
