Check your speedEvery Macintosh file has two four-character codes associated with it - its type and creator. The Creator code is unique to each application and enables the Finder to attach documents to their parent applications. This way you can "double click" on the Icon of a document and MacOS will open it with its correct application. The Type code lets this application to differentiate among its files. Type/Creator Database is a collection of those codes.
OS X added the "File Extension" method to file typing. Type/Creator database now includes almost 20000 files with Extension data. Some of the Extensions are "pure PC" - i.e. no Macintosh relation.
Type/Creator database is built with the Provue Panorama database engine. There exists versions for OS X, OS 9, Windows. So please download the suitable Panorama version - see the Download site.
