Something came over me this morning, somewhere between my first tall latte and my second cup of regular brew. I went ahead and installed the Mac OS 9.2.2 update. One of the component revisions in this update is the bumping of AppleScript to version 1.7, and true to Apple’s form of late, it’s very thinly documented in terms of what exactly has changed. Well, apparently quite a bit has changed, because half of my scripts no longer work and the rest are running at about quarter speed. According to various reports on MacInTouch and MacFixIt, I’m not alone in my suspicions that AppleScript be broken. I downgraded to AppleScript 1.6 and everything is back to normal, at least in the script department. The rest of my system seems to be functioning properly, if not a bit more responsive. Of course, that could simply be the subconscious effect of having solved the aforementioned problem.
