For some of these it's hard determining the correct type because the
correct type often includes control characters and 8-bit characters.

That should have a creator of 'pdos' and a type of $70 $E0 $80 $02

First of all, these aren't BinHex files. BXY isn't ASCII, it's raw binary.
BXY should be treated like SHK and BSC should be treated like text.

This seems in order.

OK, if you're sure.

I don't think you should treat just any file as a ProDOS program, but if
you want to...

ProDOS 16 executables and GS/OS executables are the same. Try this:

         .s16     RAW     'pdos'  $70 $B3 $00 $00  "GS/OS Executable"

If MKHybrid doesn't let you type in nulls and control characters and
characters above 126 you're kind of in trouble.

Be sure to add just plain .bin
