- Well, I either use SegHoaker, pull the header table out, modify
- it, and shove it back in. Or I use a little Distributor utility
- I wrote (similar to Opener, I think) which reads in a file that
- maps extensions to applications, make it the DefaultOpenApp for
- the Workspace, and have it farm out the opening of files the
- Workspace doesn't understand.
