File Kinder 10b1 As

This pair of scripts does what many other utilities do: it sets the creator type of text files. So why even bother? They illustrate several scripting techniques I haven't seen used elsewhere, that may be useful if you want to explore AppleScript, and if you want to tinker with them it's easy - open with the Script Editor and tinker away. Drop an application on the main script, and it will reset itself so that all future drops (of anything but a single application) mark text files as created by that application; it will also, via the helper "wait for" script, make its own icon match the resulting files. It's fast enough to be fairly painless, it's public domain, it uses only standard scripting components (aka OSAXen) and if you script you might find something useful. Lemme know if it breaks on you, I'll try to help fix it. Jim Hill
