List - Aux Type

The auxiliary type of the file. The exact meaning of this varies depending on the archive or disk image.

- ShrinkIt archives: the ProDOS "aux type", or the size of an archived disk image.
- Binary II, ProDOS: the value of the 16-bit "aux type" field. For BIN files this is usually the load address. For Applesoft BAS files it's the start address of the program.
- DOS 3.2/3.3: for 'B' (BIN) the load address is pulled out of the first sector of the file. For 'A' (BAS) the field is always set to $0801, and for 'I' (INT) and 'T' (TXT) it's always set to $0000.
- Pascal, CP/M: set to $0000 for all files.
- RDOS: the load address of the file.

ShrinkIt is capable of storing Macintosh files from HFS volumes, in which case the "aux type" field will hold a 32-bit creator type.
