Here's the script you want:
-- Begin AppleScript code
on open (theList)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theFile in theList
set creator type of theFile to "1NCU" -- Creator code of NCU
set file type of theFile to "pkg " -- Note the space after "pkg "!
end repeat
end tell
end open
-- End AppleScript code
Save the script as a classic applet, and when you drop one or more files
onto it, their type and creator will be set so that they will be recognized
as NCU packages.
