To Matt: Problem Sending AppleScripts as Text: The Resource Fork

Hi Matt,

May I humbly point out a problem with sending applescripts over the Internet as text, as you've suggested doing previously? (You've undoubtedly noticed and may have commented on the following already, but...) The problem is that Script Editor deletes the resource fork, including the Description section, which I think most would consider a significant loss.

A simple alternative would be to stuff the script: As you know, a .sitx file has no resource fork of its own, but its data fork includes an encoded version of the original file's resource fork.

Jonathan
