[Macpartners] setting file Kind under OS X

Hi.  I have a passle of files whose Kind is incorrect after being
restored after a disk failure.  The applications they (should) belong
to don't recognize them and refuse to open them, but the contents of
the files (data forks, anyway) seems okay.  In OS 9 or earlier, I
would have used ResEdit to manually fix the Kind, but I can't find a
version of ResEdit that works with OS X.  Can anyone tell me how to
fix this problem in OS X?

Thanks,
Sue
