Re: OS 9 vs. 0S X scripts?

You're absolutely right, thats exactly what I'm doing.
How do I get around that so the script works on both OSs.

Just remove "date"; it should work on both platforms.

P.S to make things clear this is what I'm doing

set foo to current date
set dateA to date string of foo --to get the string of the date
set dateB to date dateA --to perform date calculations

That should work on both platforms, but why do it that way when you can do this:

set foo to current date
set dateA to date string of foo
set dateB to foo

dateA is a string, and dateB is a date.

But those three lines wouldn't cause the error. What would cause the error is
set dateB to date dateA
