- I'm trying to write some code that will take a pathname for an arbitrary
- file and launch the application that created the file. I've managed to
- launch an application explicitly, but can't figure out how to get the
- mapping from the CREATOR of the file to the application (which the
- finder seems to do internally).
-
- The inside-mac documentation here has been no help... it seems to happen
- magically somewhere between the finder and the process manager...
-
- Any help would be appreciated, and reply to me because I'm not on the
- mailing list...
-
- Thanks,
-
- David
