A rephrasing of the question ...
On Apple's Macintosh Products Guide page <http://guide.apple.cm/ submit/> Product Criteria number 3 states: To be listed as a Universal product ...


Is an AppleScript bundled application compiled by Script Editor on a PPC G4 a Universal application as used in the Product Criteria?

I'm asking because I will be submitting a product soon.

A suggestion on my local Mac forum is that the Intel Mac's require AppleScript files to be saved as bundles, else they will be run as PPC files by Rosetta.

Can anyone confirm or contradict that?

That's true if and only if you're referring to scripts saved as applications. The script itself does not contain any PPC or x86 code -- it's data that's fed to the AppleScript interpreter. What matters is the flavor of the executable running the script.

Are you saying that if you save a script as an application, without saving it as an application bundle, it will require Rosetta to run? Even if you're saving it on an Intel Mac?

That's correct.
