I'm just accustoming myself to scripting in Jaguar. A lot of my OS 9.x
scripts employ Tanaka's OSAX to readfromfile and writetofile, etc. I
don't think Tanaka's has been ported to OS X. Is there an equivalent
OSAX I can use, or is the open for access command in Standard Additions
my best alternative? I always thought the syntax for open for access
was kind of icky, but I guess I can get used to it if I have to.
