The Finder has undergone a couple of changes you should keep in mind when
creating the "bundle" information for your application.

Creator String will be the default "Get Info" comment text
The "creator" (or "signature") string (contained in a resource whose type is
your application's four-character creator type, and whose ID is 0) will be used as the
default for the comment text displayed by the Finder's "Get Info" command. Thus, you
should set up this string (when you build your application) to contain the name of
your program and a version number and date.

Icon Masks should match their icons
Your application's BNDL ("bundle") resource ties the file types that it uses for its
documents with the icons to be displayed for those documents. For each icon, a "mask" icon is also provided;
this mask is used to punch a hole in the gray desktop before drawing the icon.
Some applications use a cleverly modified mask to provide an "action icon" that
looks different when it's selected. This causes problems; it is important that
the mask be what it's supposed to be (a solid black copy of the icon).
