Hi, Carl,
There are two answers to your question:
1) TECHNICALLY: No, you can simply set the creator/type codes
within your application's resource bundle. When it creates
files, their creator/type can be set to whatever you wish. When
your application is dropped into the file system the desktop
database will be updated based on information in your app's
resource fork.
2) POLITICALLY/CONVENTIONALLY: It is considered good manners to
coordinate the creator/type codes you want to use. Otherwise
you get the same sort of nonsense that we see in Visual CP/M, where
selection of three-letter "extensions" is a free-for-all and it is
quite common for a newly-installed app to grab ownership of types
that you've been using with a previously-installed app (or for an
OS upgrade to grab ownership of types formerly used by applications
that m*cr*s*ft wants to put out of business.
