And FYI, for Office 2004 for Mac, the creator is "XCEL" and the type is
"XLS8" (case sensitive).

If for some reason the .xls file has resources in it, you might also want to
do a "resfile:" copy as well, as in:

set the fileType to "XCELXLS8"
put URL ("binfile:" & "text.xls") into URL ("binfile:" & "text2.xls")
put URL ("resfile:" & "text.xls") into URL ("resfile:" & "text2.xls")
