Nope. It was an ordinary GS/OS desktop application (type $B3, auxtype
$DB03) which I copied to a HFS floppy using the GS Finder, and which I
then found to have an aux type of $0000.
I thought, that's odd, and copied it back to a ProDOS volume to check if
the aux type would be restored in that way, but that didn't happen.
After that, I tried a file utility to change the aux type, which worked
fine on the ProDOS disk, but although it didn't generate any errors, the
aux type on the HFS disk remained zero.
That's all I did. Do you suggest I need more testing? Like, try another
HFS floppy, and run this one through a repair utility on a Mac?
