The 'Get Info' script
(c)1998 Wade Riddick
This little script allows you to *easily* change the file type & creator
information for any file dropped on it. It'll also show the size of the
data and resource forks (handy if you have a disk that runs under some
funky metric system where 1 byte = 60K).
If you drop a folder, it'll scan every file down to the last subfolder.
You change each one at a time or hit the 'Do All' button which will alter
*every* subsequent file to whatever you've just entered in the fields (use
this prudently).
This script requires Dialog Runner and who knows what other scripting
extensions. To get it to work, you'll have to drop the resource file in
the Preferences folder. Both the applet and script are included for your
edification/amusement.
It runs slow as a dog (let me clarify: a lethargic bassethound) even on a
G3, but that's an Applescript problem.
Due to the all the 'adult' SPAM coming into my mail box lately, I've
decided to label this "Bimboware." If you use it, you are morally,
legally and ethically obligated to debase yourself by visiting my website:

And, of course, I'll be grateful for every false response you send the
spammers. (I SWEAR! I'll never post to the usenet again! 'Uncle,'
already!)
