Thanks for all the info, Chris.
I just want to make sure I understand this comment (like Shane).
Are you
saying that even on an MacIntel, single file Applications saved
from Script
Editor are saved as PPC-only? How peculiar, if so. Why?
Or did you mean (in answer to my specific question) that on a PPC
machine
(only) single file Applications saved from Script Editor are saved as
PPC-only, but on a MacIntel they are saved as Universal?
"Always" means always. There are no differences in the saved file
format, regardless of the machine architecture. We did it that way
because we didn't want to expend work updating a format that we don't
really want people to use -- single-file applications have a number
of subtle problems (mostly having to do with localization) that will
never be fixed. (That said, it's sometimes necessary to use them for
compatibility reasons.) The saving interface doesn't make this at
all clear, but we hope to fix that.
