Panther upgrade wrecks stack bindings

[Ian Wood]

Select one of the incorrectly launching stacks in the Finder, and press 
Apple-I to get the info panel up.  Under 'Open with:' you should be 
able to choose Rev 2.1.2 as the default app for that file.  Then click 
on 'Change All' and after a dialog box (Do you really want to do this?) 
all your stacks should now open in 2.1.2.  You can do the same for 
other file types, e.g. forcing all tiffs to open in Photoshop.
