I was just fiddling with your example, just to have the path file opened in BBEdit instead of TextEdit. My eol conversion utility has a rich set of options, batch converts files with any system's line-ending to duplicate files with line-endings of any other system, reports errors, and logs what it does. I usually evoke it with a BBEdit shell worksheet or run it from the command line; adding a droppable evocation that knows where it is would be handy. > What would be more interesting is an AS droplet that would act as > DropScript does, creating a new droplet with the perl routine loaded, > with the added features that it can stay open and that it knows where > it is.
