Silly man. I'm talking about people who email me wondering why my scripts
don't compile on their machine... Then I ask them to run a script which
gets a list of their osaxen... No wonder!

But the Eighty Lister one caught me by surprise. I figured that name was
already "reserved" by the AppleScript extension, so is version. But lo
and behold there's an osax that does it.

I usually tell people that it's a modification protection scheme... ha!

The only osax I actually needed to modify was XCMD osax and I emailed
Ed Lai with a brief description and a link to a resource file for the
patch so he could either approve or implement or neither I guess.

There are three terms in there which compile incorrectly resulting in
scripts which either don't compile at all or error at runtime.

Set File Flag
Set Folder Sharing of
Set Locked By Finder

Set File Flag thePath flag "hasCustomIcon" with to

the boolean parameter "to" gets mangled so I modified the aete so it
comes out like this:

Set File Flag thePath flag "hasCustomIcon" with flag set

and it works... Still haven't heard back from Ed though....
