Getting the type code of a file under OSX

[Howard Bornstein]

Thanks for all the nice refinements to the basic algorithm. I
originally used a script like the one Dave Cragg mentioned.

But doesn't it strike everyone that this is cumbersome for such a
simple request.

Perhaps I should enter a BZ enhancement for a function:

getFileAttributes(filepath) that returns one detailed line á la long files.
