would be interested :)
 
The original also had signup info for GEnie at the end...  if you really want
it, read the copy in csa2.marketplace :)

SYNDICOMM - The Apple II Programmers RoundTable on GEnie
(A2Pro) announced today that it is now the official
repository of the Apple II file type database, and is now
accepting applications for new file type/auxtype
combinations.  This service will be provided free to the
entire Apple II community.  All Apple II users and
developers, including those without GEnie accounts, may
participate.
 
Apple Computer, Inc., (Cupertino, California), has given
A2Pro the authority to assign file type/auxtype combinations
for newly developed software that depends on new file
structures.  This was done so that these assignments can
still be made after Apple completed the downsizing of their
Apple II division last year.
 
Anyone needing a file type/auxtype assignment can send a
completed application via email on the internet to
a2pro@genie.com.  Any questions or comments may also be sent
to that address.  Applications are available for downloading
from the A2Pro software library on GEnie, and can also be
obtained by requesting one via email on the internet to
a2pro@genie.com.
 
Alternatively, requests and correspondence can be sent via
U.S.Mail to A2Pro Technical Support, P.O.Box 4641, Redondo
Beach, CA  90278-8841.  Inclusion of a self-addressed stamped
envelope would be appreciated.
 
Updates to the file type database will be published
quarterly.
