Yes, resedit will show you both type and creator codes. You can get
resedit from the Apple web site: visit www.apple.com, and ask for the
shortcut "utilities" (enter "utilities" in the search window and click
on shortcut). This gives you an alphabetized list of utilities that
are available for download.
