Re: Prodos 8 : Easy to change filetypes ?

["Jayson Smith" <nospamratguyspambegone@nospamplease.bellsouth.ihatespam.net>]

If you have Davex available to you, I think it has a ftype command which can
be used to change the type of a Prodos file.  Davex is a wonderful command
line shell for Prodos.  Disk images of Davex can be found at Asimov among
other places probably.
Hope this helps.
