	Technical Note TN1134: The Preferences Problem
		There is code at the end of this Note that shows how you might want to locate a preferences file by creator code and/or file name.
		Always creating a preferences file makes for slightly simpler code, but since you have to be prepared to run even if you cannot create a preferences file, you might as well wait until you actually need to create a preferences file before dealing with those possible problems.
		One of the easiest workarounds to this problem is to locate your preferences file by a unique creator code (your application's signature springs to mind), which allows the user to rename your preferences file and not affect your application at all.

	Creator code - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A creator code is a mechanism used in pre-Mac OS X versions of the Macintosh operating system to link a data file to the application program which created it, in a manner similar to file extensions in other operating systems.
		For example, the creator code of the HyperCard application and its associated "stacks" is WILD.
		They claim that type and creator information rightfully belongs to the metadata associated with a file, and is therefore illogically placed within the file's name, where its presence can cause problems for the user.

	Article - Writing Custom Components for Java Studio Creator Part 1: Developing a Component Library
		The Sun Java (tm) Studio Creator 2 application development tool allows component authors to bundle a set of components together into a component library and deliver it to an IDE user as a single complib file (a package file, much like a WAR or EAR file, containing the contents of a component library).
		When creating the runtime components, developers should consider design-time aspects since some code may be executed at design time.
		Creating a component library involves creating various parts, then packaging the parts into a single complib file.

	Bar Code Hotel
		By covering an entire room with printed bar code symbols, an environment is created in which every surface becomes a responsive membrane, making up an immersive interface that can be used simultaneously by a number of people to control and respond to a projected real-time computer-generated stereoscopic three-dimensional world.
		I started to research bar code technologies, and began to visualize a room in which every available surface was covered with bar code, an entirely fl-and-white environment.
		And because the activities of Bar Code Hotel are affected both by its changing guests and by the autonomous behaviors of its various objects, the potential exists for the manifestation of a vast number of unpredictable and dynamic scenarios.

	MacOSX Week: Tales of a BeOS Refugee - OSNews.com
		All versions of Mac OS assume that the application that created a document is also the best application to launch it in, resulting in situations where files of the same type launch in different applications when double-clicked.
		In other words, rather than moving forward by dropping the Creator code and moving to a complete FileTypes preferences panel, OS X adopted a bad habit from Windows (extensions) and retained its own bad habits (using the Creator code for application binding).
		Since the document's creator is logically irrelevant to the determination of the best app to launch the document in, and because it often results in unexpected and undesirable document launching behavior, and because more flexible and powerful application binding can be accomplished through file type-based binding, I find this 100% backwards.

	Re: [office] Macintosh type/creator code registration
		Two ODF applications would thus register their own creator codes, while the type code would be the same for all ODF files.
		Since type codes are no longer registered by apple, it looks like there is nothing that remains to be done.
		When choosing your own file types you should follow the same guidelines as for creator codes - your file > type must each contain at least one uppercase character.
