In Panther I could decompile a compiled script file to text like this:

osacompile -o destinationfilename.applescript -dt -TEXT scriptfilename.scpt

Now in Tiger it just yields the concatenated version of the data fork
(jibberish).

How can I do it in Tiger? Thanks.


If using Smile can be part of the solution, I think the following works.

tell application "Smile" to get (script of file the_file)

This returns the formatted source as styled text. Say "as text" or "as Unicode text" if you don't want the styles. Note that the command is "script of file" (not just "script of".)
