Hi,
In the Mac OS 9 days, it was possible to open an application's
resource fork and look in the "BNDL" to discover what files the
application could open.
Now, in Mac OS X, is it possible in any way?
In other words: say I want to find what kind of files (MacCreator,
MacType, extension) iTunes can open. I open the "iTunes.app" package,
go in the "Resources" folder, and then... no resource fork, obviously.

Yes, you have to go poking about in its info.plist file (or 'plst' #0
resource).
Best,
