This is a cheap message to partially to test the latest version
of Convert Script, complete with a deobfuscation filter which
attempts to restore scripts butchered during the voyage through
email. And also to plug it because I think it improves readability
as much as I love squinting at the posted scripts in their natural,
albeit mangled, form. Convert Script is ready for download...now!
I also updated CoerceToString (and updated the link for those of you
who have already tried to download it...you got the old version, d'oh!)
and added ClippingExtractor which I originally started as a 15 minute
answer to a question here, but managed to stretch it out into days of
idle fiddling. It extracts plain or styled text from text clippings
and saves a copy as a SimpleText file and is drag and drop savvy.
So if you've nothing better to do, the newspapers have been ironed,
the dog dusted, the carpet mowed, the socks shined, don't go do that
drive by at 7-11. No, enough deaths this week already. Instead, sit
back, relax and go one step beyond. There's several useful scripts,
all tainted with my special kind of madness. There's more new stuff
to read on the front page than you can shake a stick at, if you go for
that sort of thing. And who knows, it just might crash your browser....
Whatever the outcome, you'll be glad you did. And if you're not, well
that's just too damn bad. But still, let's tone down the violence.

Test begins:
-- ---------------------------------------------------------
-- Preprocessed by Convert Script 1.0d2
-- ---------------------------------------------------------
set theStr to <<class ktxt>> of ((the clipboard) as record)
set {theStr, theStyl} to {<<class ktxt>>, <<class ksty>>, ==>
<<class kudd>>} of ((the clipboard) as record)
if 10 <= 2 or 5 >= 20 or 49 /= "balloon" then beep
-- ---------------------------------------------------------
what follows is the same script without preprocessing to verify
that Convert Script is able to restore to the original state.
The first comparison on the final line will generate a warning
since it's awful hard to tell the difference between > and >.
I dunno can you tell the difference?
By the way, the little preprocessed by note, although it appears
to be a quest for glory, to see my name in lights, etc, but
really it lets the script know it doesn't need to make any
attempt at salvaging the script since the poster had the sense to
preprocess it so you didn't have to sort it out later. 8)
-- not preprocessed, good luck!
set theStr to +class ktxt; of ((the clipboard) as record)
set {theStr, theStyl} to {+class ktxt;, +class ksty;, ,
+class kudd;} of ((the clipboard) as record)
if 10 > 2 or 5 20 or 49 "balloon" then beep
