Illness has kept me away from programming for far too long. I've got a few
scripts from System 8 days I want to rewrite for System 9/X. Unfortunately
they keep hanging. One script features the following command from the GTS
scripting library:
set wList to sort tlist in ascending order case sensitivity true
I get a runtime error of '{"This list","That List"} doesn't understand the
qrtsort message' or something similar. Bumping the sort OSAX to the top
hasn't helped. It's not urgent I get this fixed but I do want to know
what's up.
The second problem concerns a background script I leave running to monitor
whether or not the modem's been disconnected:
on run
idle of me
end run
on idle
set p to PPP status
set q to cast p to string
if q does not contain "connected" then beep -- insert whatever you want here
return 50
end idle
Believe it or not, this has been enough to crash Classic and 10.1.4.
Both scripts work fine in 8.
Finally, can anybody tell me why OS X can't remember which folders I left
carrotted open when I'm in list view - to say nothing of it being able to
remember the widths of the various columns? It's more than annoying. It's
made the system unuseable for regular file management. Somedays I feel
like I'm using an Apple ][ - without the command line.
