[Casper] Shockwave and Rosetta - still need a command

[Dan Peterka]

The Open using Rosetta setting modifies the file:  ~/Library/ 
Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices shows an entry:

     LSPrefsFatApplications = {
         "com.apple.Safari" = (
             <00000000 009a0003 00010000 c323458f 0000482b 00000000  
00000023 0000727b 0000c2b0 8b4e0000 00000920 fffe0000 00000000  
0000ffff ffff0001 00040000 0023000e 0016000a 00530061 00660061  
00720069 002e0061 00700070 000f0014 00090053 00650072 00760065  
00720020 00480044 00120017 4170706c 69636174 696f6e73 2f536166  
6172692e 61707000 00130001 2f00ffff 0000>

that corresponds to what is seen using Property List Editor. When the  
button is clicked off, this entry disappears.

Two problems: 1) How to get this to be happen at the system level and  
2) how to set it using the command line.

I don't know what the data between the <...>'s is. It is the same  
between users and between toggling Rosetta on and off, and the  
LSPrefsFatApplications entry in Tiger is replaced by a much different  
LSArchitecturesForX86_64 entry in Leopard:

     "LSArchitecturesForX86_64" =     {
         "com.apple.Safari" =         (
             <00000000 00a00003 00010000 c3ecd416 0000482b 00000000  
000000a0 00028d9a 0000c2f1 13950000 00000920 fffe0000 00000000  
0000ffff ffff0001 00040000 00a0000e 0016000a 00530061 00660061

             ppc,

             ppc
         );
     };
