FileTypes and Creators

[Ray Horsley]

Ah Haaaaa!  I didn't know that.  Just glancing at the dictionary has  
given me hope that this is not only doable but possibly in short  
order.  Brian Yennie has also suggested something along these lines  
only writing the compressed file myself, which also seems pretty  
straight forward.

Thanks guys!
