I'm looking at this statement:
Instead, I have two 20kB scripts which are easy to deploy (I use Synk to
synchronise my scripts across 68 iMacs and 5 G4s) and one easy to handle
folder of resources at each location.
Does this mean there is a way to deploy scripts on a large group of macs without sitting at
each one and compiling them? If so, can you elaborate?
Thanks in advance.

The bundles solution would give me two 20MB scripts: 40MB in total, which
