- I have a BBS program that reads and writes message files. The files
- were originally created with a type of TEXT and a creator of MPS .
- I recently changed the file types to ALFA, so that they would be
- opened with Alpha, and they appeared to have been changed correctly,
- showed the right icon, and launched Alpha on double-click. I used
- FileTyper to change them.
-
- But when the BBS program reads the files, I fined the creator has
- changed back to MPS . What happened? The code is in MPW Pascal, and
- does no more than
- open(file, filename);
- readln(file,string);
- ...
- close(file);
