I would bet you are running into an endian issue. AppleScript uses

I had a similar problem with the Script Timer log file, which is a
Unicode text file, fed by an AppleScript application. Everything
was fine until I changed and resaved the file in a Cocoa program on
an Intel Mac. After that it was gibberish. I had to force the
program to interpret the data in the file as big endian. (In my
case the string encoding had to be set to "kCFStringEncodingUTF16BE".)
Hope that helps,
Don

Hi Don,
that was my immediate suspicion, too. I didn't know that AppleScript
was big-endian on Intel. However, I'm hoping the problem is more
easily addressed by substituting "double" for "float". Matt Neuburg
has suggested this. So I've done that now (changed float to double,
that is) and have sent Matt the newly compiled app. I'll soon know
if that was the problem.
Thanks for your contribution,
Ron
