Hi,

Sorry I understand how the desktop associations work, I really was 
just wondering *why* DreamCard and Revolution have the *same* creator 
signature ("Revo"). According to Apple, each Application should have 
a unique signature.

I can easilly (and have) just changed DreamCard's ID to be something 
else and then it associates with RunRev again.

  I think I will write a Stack or a Script and that allows you to 
specifiy which of these Apps should be used, but I can see this 
leading to major distribution problems, maybe only under MacOS 9 
though which of course isn't so bad.

All the Best
Dave
