Hi
I am turning to your list in sheer desperation:
I need to automate various tasks on a PPC G3 running MACOS 8.1
(backup copies, gzipping the files and then ftp file transfers)
I can see the applescript extension in the extensions folder but
cannot find anywhere the "script editor", effectively barring me
from any scripting task (?)
As I do not seem to have all the documentation for this machine
/ MACOS 8.1 / applescript version, I must confess that I do not
even know if there should be a "script editor"? (I see this
referenced in all the AS documentation on the Apple site, but
this is for MACOS 9.0 or higher)
Any sugestions?
Is it possible that the applescript needs to be reinstalled from
the MACOS 8.1 CDROM disks? if so, how?
Does anybody have (a link to ) documentation for this older
version of applescript for MACOS 8.1?
Is it worthwhile trying to do what I need to do in AS, or would
MacPerl be a more appropriate (as being more uptodate) choice?
I would appreciate any comments
Thank you
Fred
