I wonder if you could get around the need to actually write a file to
disk by running everything through the BSD layer via osascript and
piping the output back into another script. Has anyone tried it that
way? I've been wanting a script that will fetch a wordcount from a Word
document for me and store it in FileMaker. (Clients expect Word's
wordcount and will make a fuss if I use FileMaker's wordcount, which
tends to be a few percent higher.)
