\fItypeName\fR is the name of the file type described by this
file pattern and is the text string that appears in the \fBFile types\fR
listbox. \fIextension\fR is a file extension for this file pattern.
-\fImacType\fR is a four-character Macintosh file type. The list of
-\fImacType\fRs is optional and may be omitted for applications that do
-not need to execute on the Macintosh platform.
+\fImacType\fR is a four-character deprecated Macintosh file type and

Several file patterns may have the same \fItypeName,\fR in which case
they refer to the same file type and share the same entry in the
listbox. When the user selects an entry in the listbox, all the files
that match at least one of the file patterns corresponding
to that entry are listed. Usually, each file pattern corresponds to a
-distinct type of file. The use of more than one file pattern for one
-type of file is only necessary on the Macintosh platform.

-On the Macintosh platform, a file matches a file pattern if its
-name matches at least one of the \fIextension\fR(s) AND it
-belongs to at least one of the \fImacType\fR(s) of the
-file pattern. For example, the \fBC Source Files\fR file pattern in the
-sample code matches with files that have a \fB\.c\fR extension AND
-belong to the \fImacType\fR \fBTEXT\fR. To use the OR rule instead,
-you can use two file patterns, one with the \fIextensions\fR only and
-the other with the \fImacType\fR only. The \fBGIF Files\fR file type
-in the sample code matches files that \fIeither\fR have a \fB\.gif\fR
-extension OR belong to the \fImacType\fR \fBGIFF\fR.

-On the Unix and Windows platforms, a file matches a file pattern

On the Unix and Macintosh platforms, extensions are matched using
glob-style pattern matching. On the Windows platform, extensions are
matched by the underlying operating system. The types of possible
