Thanks to all contributors for the highly informative
replies on conversion:
{extension} ==> (type, creator)
There's a lot of stuff I was not aware of!
Some relevant but unmentioned stuff I *was*
aware of are:

-- InternetConfig database that Netscape and Apple
do *not* use but others such as MacZip *do* use.
Cheers
