Replacement for "Akua Sweets" in OSX


  • Subject: Replacement for "Akua Sweets" in OSX

Hallo,

In system 9.2.2 I was using the scripting addtions "Akua Sweets"
for the following commands:

tell application "Finder"
set theProg to path to creator "CARO"
open theProg
end tell

This way I could open an application using its creator, avoiding to change the script after installing a new version of a program - which often had a different name than the old version.

tell application "Finder"
set woze to the open windows
end tell
The result was a list with the name of the windows in the frontmost application.

As "Akua Sweets" are not (yet?) available for OSX, are there other osax to perform the desired tasks?

An alternative might be (AppleScript Help):
"Using terms from Mac OS 9 scripting additions in a Mac OS X script"
using the expression "using terms of
"
This way it should be possible to use scripting additions from OS 9 for scripts of OS X.
But what is the correct command for "using terms of
"?

Any other ideas? Help is greatly appreciated

Barbara
