I have decided against creating a new MIME type for my application. It
turns out that the problems I was experiencing were caused by issues
with the Journal. In the latest release the Journal has problems
dealing with larger files (30 meg or so). When you try to use one of
those files in an application the app acts as if no file was specified
at all. I got a developer key and updated the OS and now my app works
just fine. It isn't that big a problem to avoid opening the file with
EToys. My real issue was opening the file with my own app and having
it not working. I thought having my own MIME type would solve the
problem, but that was only because I didn't understand what the real
problem was.<br>

Whatever you invent, Etoys will claim it in the next release.
It does not matter if Etoys has any ability to handle the data.
I'm half serious too, as is clear to anybody who has looked at
the list of MIME types claimed by Etoys and tried them.
Almost none make sense. It's like some kind of land grab.
