Are an improvement (IMHO).
The original code forces its type/creator guesses on you. The first time
the server sees a (non-mac) file, it looks up a "suitable" set of values
from its configuration. If you don't like the choice, well, you're out of
luck - changes made with "Get Info" don't work, the "guess" always
overrules get info.
At best the look-up table contains guesses of suitable type/creators; so
using this file the first time a file is seen makes sense, may as well
guess something. This value should then be left alone, if someone comes
along with get info and updates the values, great !
I'd rather have someone use "Get Info", than try to select a suitable dot3
extension (esp. since they can't even see what the mappings are).
