Please tell me if this is a known bug, and whether anything can be done to
avoid it. (I still find the Apple mailing list search facilities unusable.)
My script asks the Finder for the container of the application whose creator
type is a specified 4-char string. On one machine, it correctly returns the
container of the application package, but on another machine it returns the
container ("MacOS") of the executable inside the application package. In
both cases, I am targeting Now Up-to-Date 4.2.6 on Mac OS X 10.2.6.
Both copies of the app are correctly-formed application packages. Both have
been verified to contain the correct (now deprecated but still permitted)
PkgInfo file containing the string "APPLCal*". Both also contain well-formed
Info.plist files containing the correct values for the creator ('Cal*') and
type ('APPL') keys. (I have not thought to ask whether the other machine has
the beta GUI Scripting software installed, as mine does.)
