Macintosh PC Exchange: PC Icon on a Hard Disk

When I place the PC file onto the hard disk, I'm unable to assign a
creator/type. The file always shows up as a PC icon and never takes
on the icon of the application it's assigned to.


The assignment of the suffix to a creator/type applies to files that are on
MS-DOS floppy disks only. Macintosh PC Exchange's creator/type selector won't
access files you mount via a network, removable hard disk, or optical disk.
