Subject: AppleScript's script size limit
From: Paul Berkowitz <email@hidden>

OS 10.2.1, AS 1.9
Just to make clear I'm not discussing Script Editor's 32K limit, but a
limit
discovered in AppleScript itself, confirmed as identical in both Script
Debugger 3.0.5 and Smile 2.4.6 in OS 10.2.1/AS 1.9.
Have you confirmed using osacompile?
Probably it's not that common to want to compile and save scripts
longer
than 141K. But I can't be the only one. That's not really so immense
as all
that: just a little over four times Script Editor's puny 32K. I can
work
around it by loading assistant script libraries, which I might do more
of in
any case.
My longest scripts have been for AS Studio, and they'd only be longer
than that if combined. This is one heck of a script you've got. Try
osacompile and if that won't compile it then I'd say it's defintely a
major bug. (of course, I wouldn't mind >32K strings first)
