I'm using R1.5.0 on Mac OS 9.1 to create graphics as pdf files. One problem, admittedly pretty minor, is that the file type and creator are blank. Is there any way from within R of setting the file type and/or file creator of the resulting files so that OS9 can work out which program to open the files in?
I don't see file type as a field in the PDF spec, and also don't see how a field in a file can help tell you which program to open it with, when it is already open by then .... The creator field could be filed in as R, I guess, but it won't help you. It's purely for information. I think your OS has not got its MIME types sorted.
