Does anyone have any idea how to get the path to the original file from an alias in osX? in os9 you could use a 3rd party scripting addition or the standard additions to get the info. I can't seem to find this same functionality in osX.


tell application "Finder"
(original item of alias file "path:to:alias file") as Unicode text
end tell
