Or you could write an appleScript droplet that gets all that info and more.
Quite, or use a CM plug-in, or File Buddy etc etc. Mainly I just want to
make text files open in Tex Edit and pictures in GraphicConverter, so all I
need is access to the creator code. It's my feeling that the vanilla Mac OS
should provide a more direct way to do this...

Oh, geeze, not again : (

Now that's just rude. A simple interface that keeps the gnarly bits hidden
away from the general user is what the Mac OS is all about. It's their
stated aim. It's the same thing as the one-button mouse, ease of use. And I
appreciate that not everyone wants to look under the hood. It's a policy,
not a conspiracy, so, what's the problem with mentioning that, Ed?
