Thank you for the information. I will be looking for more information
about the NSFileWrapper object, as well as the LSTypeIsPackage and
CFBundleDocumentTypes.

Document packages are simply folders which are recognized by the
system as packages because:
1. CFBundleDocumentTypes in your app's Info.plist identifies the
document type as a package with the LSTypeIsPackage key.
2. A Contents/PkgInfo file inside the package (minimally with 8
"?"s) enables a folder to be recognized as a package in the absence
of an app to declare it as a package.
Note that document packages can be pretty simple; they don't need
to contain the whole hierarchy you might find in an application
bundle, for instance. Nor do they need Info.plist files. You also
don't need to put your contents under Contents. rtfd and nib are
two of the simpler examples you can fine.
In Cocoa, NSFileWrapper can be used to read/write file packages.

Are there any resources for creating Document Packages. Document
Packages are things like Pages and Keynote files which are
actually directories that allow the system to open that directory
as a single file. Anyway; any examples out there?
