Gracious of you to venture so.
Paul's suggestion follows the principle of 'feature by design' rather
than by an external hack
I recant and throw myself on the mercy of the list. How could I eschew
such a noble-sounding principle in favor of, of all things, a
<splutter> hack? Worse, an "external" hack. What on earth got into me?
Could I pretend I did the locking as part of the script, and plead
guilty to the presumably lesser charge of hacking (internal)? It's the
"external" bit that really cuts deep.
(In truth, I only ever used locking well before OS 9, when some of the
finer points of AS's rules on globals escaped me and I assumed, much
like the OP, that changed mod dates were otherwise inevitable. But I
understand that ignorance is no excuse. I played quick-and-dirty, and
now it seems I've been caught shame-faced and red-handed. I'm tempted
to say that, today, I'd probably just pop what's in the top level of
the script in a handler and call it from a single line in an explicit
run handler, rather than doing all the local declarations. But I
somehow fear I'm opening myself to new charges, perhaps expediency.)
and thus doesn't require extra administration by the user in order to
make your application work.
Now this simply puzzles me.
