Hi,
I need to write a installer for my utility (a database client). I need to
use browser for common interface, set a private MIME-type for my
creator/type. File Exchange has a "make set" command, but it can only set PC
Extensions, not the MIME. Is there some 3rd-party tools that can help me do
this ?
BTW, for Netscape, I've tried the "register viewer" AppleScript command :
tell application "Netscape Navigator"
register viewer application "My DB Client" MIME type
"application/my-private-type" with file type "TEXT"
end tell
but when I run the script within Script Editor, my DB Client is activated,
and report a fail. It seems that Netscape requires my DB Client to response
an AppleEvent, but I don't know kind of data should I response.
