Maybe you used to, but it causes an error in 10.6.
(I just went to do some testing and discovered that when I try to open a
PICT in Preview.app I get a message that the PICT file format is not
supported in 64-bit mode. So that talk of its being deprecated is true.)
Anyway, this seems to work OK in 10.6:
set x to the clipboard as picture -- get PICT data
set fileRef to (open for access file ((path to desktop as text) &
"Test.pict") with write permission)
set eof fileRef to 0
repeat 512 times
write "a" to fileRef
end repeat
write x to fileRef starting at 513
close access fileRef
It doesn't matter what's written to the first 512 bytes, it seems.
