How do I determine a document's "file type" and "creator"?

Although generic text files are accepted by most Macintosh applications, eMerge lets you restrict imports to a particular file type or files from a specific application. You can also define the file type and creator for the files you export from eMerge. Here are some typical file types and creators:

	Application	Creator	File type
	SimpleText	ttxt	TEXT
	Tex-Edit	TBB6	TEXT
	BBEdit Lite	R*ch	TEXT
	Microsoft Word	MSWD	TEXT,WDBN
