Yeah - that's what I meant, was to check the checkbox for your own
purposes. I wasn't imagining a "shipped to users" scenario, but if
that's the case then, like all the rest of the universal software on
OS X that doesn't work with PPC plugins, you'd have to tell them to
manually rectify it through the Get Info window.
Of course, if the script applet is compiled and saved on a PPC
machine it doesn't matter, since it will run in Rosetta automatically.
If you're compiling and saving on Intel and want to make sure it runs
as a PowerPC applet without the user's intervention, you could always
go in with the command line and edit out the Intel fork of the
executable with the lipo tool.

Emmanuel is right - the Osax will have to match the executing

application is running your script. If you wanted to make it runnable
from anywhere, you could probably resort to saving it as a script
application, and then selecting the "Run in Rosetta" checkbox from
the Get Info dialog in the Finder.
And do you see such a checkbox? Only on a MacTel computer, perhaps?
On PPC
10.4.5, the only checkbox for script applications is to "Open in
the Classic
environment". So there's no way for the script developer on a PPC
box to
make his script application using a PPC osax such as 24U Appearance
Osax
workable on a MacTel. You have to tell the _users_ to check that
box - which
is a nuisance.
