It isn't MacTerminal which sets the creator to CCOM, it is macput,
although that can be changed with on of macput's command line
switches.

A binhex.hex file will have the correct creator, one of the advantages
of that transfer method.

The only way I know to find out the actual creator is with Fedit.
Page through the file in ASCII looking for APPL, the creator should
show as four upper case letters within a few bytes after that (if
there is one. A second pair of four letter names may follow, but
these are for any created files. The bundle bit must be set if there
are any of the later three names.
