[Jim Ault]

semi-urgent reply...
I think your best answer would be to use an Applescript

do commandLines as Applescript
put the result into possibleErrorMessage


tell app "Finder" to set the creator of fileOnHardDrive to "8BIM "
tell app "Finder" to set the type of fileOnHardDrive to "TIFF "


(don't for get the Rev function  revUnixFromMacPath() and
revMacFromUnixPath()

Ken Ray has excellent help on his SonsOThunder site
