CAUTION

If I remember well TextCommands is not 10.6 aware.


Some of the encoding/decoding commands rely on old-style AppleScript 1.x strings, so will not work in 10.5 or later. I've never bothered fixing those as AppleScript 2.0 doesn't have a well-defined 'byte string' type and nobody's requested any fixes to date. Besides, if you only want to change the encoding of a plain text file, it's simpler just to skip AppleScript and use textutil instead.

I'm not aware of any fresh breakage on 10.6. TextCommands is a faceless background application, so isn't subject to 64-bit compatibility issues as true osaxen are, and the current 1.1.3 release is a 32-bit Universal build so will run natively on both PPC and i386 hardware. However, if you have encountered problems then please file bug reports so I can address them.

Regards,
