NOTE: FTyper's original creator code, initially
cleared through Apple's registration site, turned out
to be reserved. This version should be distributed
instead of the recently posted FTyper1.0.0; in addition
to using a new, cleared creator code, this version
supports drag-n-drop files and basic Apple Events.
