do you find out what the creator & file types are
On MacOS 9 and below by far the easiest access to creator, type, and other HFS data is Apple's Resedit. A free download from Apple. Apple's MPW, also free, provides a command line interface which will do the same thing but has a learning curve that may no longer be worth it.
On MacOS neXt there are two tools in the developer tools package. SetFile which allows you to change things and GetFileInfo which shows the current values. Yes. Both of them require a terminal or other shell session.
