At that time I managed to compile the source code for jhead.c on a Mac and link it to AppleScript but it won't be usable on OS neXt that way. <ftp://ftp.macnauchtan.com/SMMUG/> still contains my notes on that.
FYI, jhead has pretty anemic metadata support compared to other tools these days... it's mainly around as a legacy tool.
That said, I did put it to work as a useful tool (one of several) for assessing potential damage to half a million JPEGs last year... and it, like any command line too, interfaces fine with AppleScript.
