I dont know how to use the OSType
OSType is a Carbon typedef. According to MacTypes.h, OSType is a
FourCharCode, and a FourCharCode is a "32-bit value made by packing
four 1 byte characters together". It's typically used sort of like a
string object, but you use single quotes instead of double quotes, like
this:
OSType finderType = 'FNDR';
if (someType == 'APPL')
etc.
If you really need it, I believe I saw a method in the OmniFoundation
framework that will turn a FourCharCode-like typedef into an NSString...
