What are the Mac OS 'Creator' and 'Type' values for Portfolio?

On the Mac OS the Creator and Type values for a program and its files are in many ways the equivalent of the '.ext' extension part of the filename used in the Windows OS. Setting these correctly will aid Windows-based CD authors to get the correct icon types to display on the Mac partition of their CD.

The values are:

• Creator = FTCH
• Type = DBSE

As a historical note, the Creator string probably betrays Portfolio's origin in the Aldus program called Fetch.
