Thanks to Jacque I've compiled this AppleScript into a droplet for easily
setting the type and  creator codes:

on open theFiles
    tell application "Finder"
        repeat with x in theFiles
            set the creator type of x to "Revo"
            set the file type of x to "RSTK"
        end repeat
    end tell
end open
