Ladies and Gents,
I just found out from Aladdin Systems that their Drop Stuff utilities aren't
applescriptable.
Even if DropStuff isn't directly scriptable, you should be able to
use it in a script, with this limitation - it's acceptable for a
scripted archive to be created using DropStuff's preset preferences,
since the prefs can't be changed by the script. If that's ok, here's
an example that should demonstrate the technique sufficiently to get
you started.
--
set targFol to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to stuff.")
set dsPath to (choose file with prompt "Where is DropStuff app?")
tell application "Finder" to open targFol using dsPath
--
This should result in an archive, of the type defined in DropStuff's
prefs, at the destination defined in DropStuff's prefs.
