Some other important info. I am running Script Editor 2.1.1 on OS X
10.4.10. My script needs to run on PPC and Intel, OS X 10.4 and higher.
After some further reading, I found out that if I am only doing the one
file op, I don't even need to open or close the file in separate
operations. So the main portion of my failing script can be reduced to:
set floatList to read file_alias from 0 for 512 as small real
Has anybody else had a successful experience reading 4-byte floats (aka
"small real") with AppleScript (especially on an Intel Mac)?

Hello folks,
Well, the subject line says it all.
I have an Applescript that reads a series of floats (4-byte) from a
binary file. This script works fine on PPC, but doesn't read anything
at all on my MacBook.
Here's a brief snippet. If I run this in Script Editor on my G5 Mac,
and look at the Event Log window, I can see my data appear after the
"read" line has been executed. On the Intel Mac, no data is printed to
the event log. If I change "small real" to "real", I can see data in the
Intel Mac's event log, but it is 8-byte float data.
open for access file_alias
set floatList to read file_alias from 0 for 512 as small real
close access file_alias
Any ideas?
As always, thank you very much!
- Rick
