Of course, vanilla solutions are best than osaxen calls, but only if the use
of vanilla doesn't slow down your script or make it unreliable.

As you say, I think the best solution for an user is a double-click use
(even better if he mustn't read documentation before use your app).


When you save an applescript as an application, does it include external
script libraries or OSAX ?

I had always assumed not, which is one reason I've avoided OSAX.

( Applescript Studio on OSX, using the new bundle format, however, does
provide a way to package up all sorts of resources into an applescript app.)


How about other OSA languages and compiled scripts ?
Does compiling it mean you don't need the other language scripting component to be installed on the target computer ?

( Here, I've been assuming that you DO need the scripting component
installed on the target. )
