Anyone using Entourage 2001 in OS 9, and who uses any AppleScripts:
DON'T UPGRADE TO OS 9.2.2 - STAY IN 9.2.1
In 9.2.2 I'm finding that all my applescripts that run from internal script
menus (Outlook Express, Entourage, etc.) are so painfully slow that they
usually time out. (Independent applet applications are OK.) If they call
the Finder, it's even worse - they always time out. Other things in
applescripts or applets will break in AppleScript 1.7 running in OS 9.2.2
(but are OK in AppleScript 1.7 in OS 10.1.1) - especially Finder calls and
scripts which 'open for access with write permission' to create new files -
they are no longer automatically text files, so they can't open or print by
the Finder (which might time out anyway) unless you assign them a creator by
the Finder (might time out) or just give them a ".txt" extension - then
they're text files.
None of this applies to Entourage X in OS 10.1.1. I'm not sure yet if it
applies to Entourage 2001 run in Classic booted from OS X.
Anyway, if you don't have a special reason for upgrading to 9.2.2 but do
depend on applescript, don't upgrade to 9.2.2. Stay in 9.2.1.
