some of the obscure things asked for; for example, I have no idea what "Macintosh File Type Code(s)" is supposed to mean [searching for "Macintosh File Type Code" on the Apple web site yielded zero useful results].
Apple calls them 'creator' and 'type' (IIRC) codes. Each file on an Apple (HFS) filesystem is labelled with two four-octet codes, a 'creator' which indicates which application to open with and a 'type' which indicates which of the formats that application supports this file is in. So, for example, a TIFF saved from Photoshop has creator '8BIM' which, for reasons best known to Adobe and Apple, means Photoshop, and type 'tiff'. In your case, as *roff is unused on Apple systems, you could simply state that there is no Apple type code. Ben -- And if you wanna make sense / Whatcha looking at me for?
