<WWW>Whenin doubt, create a file on a mac, and save it to a netatalked

<WWW>in the file of the same name there:
<WWW>
<WWW>netatalked-directory/some_file
<WWW>netatalked-directory/.Appleouble/some_file
<WWW>
<WWW>That'll have the type/creator info you need. Alternatively, if you have
<WWW>resedit on the Mac, you can use that.
I am new; VERY NEW, to the MacOS system and of course resedit:
where would I find this info in resedit?
<WWW>--
<WWW>fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/cortex
<WWW>
I could alsmost swear about reading a program for the mac that can
get this info other than resedit, does anyone know what I am talking
about?
(yes, this message is very old BUT I hardly ever have time to keep poperly
updated on my e-mail :(. Thanks...)
