I am beginning to really hate how the X compiler changes app names.
First there is this horrid business of changing "Finder" to "Finder.app",
now I see that "Finder" has been replaced with a call to "AEServer" - which,
the script tells me when I run it, "is not running". How hard can it be to
leave Finder as Finder? Especially when most script creators are going to be
runnign X, and, for the next year or 2, most users are running 9?
tell application "AEServer"
if exists file archiveToCreate then
delete file archiveToCreate
end if
end tell
Finally, how hard can it be to create .DS files (and the other X caching
junk which are invisible on MacOS 9? Users hate seeing this Unix sh*t on
their disks - it sounds like a virus to most people.
