Apple: AppleScript Studio at NASA Langley
- by Barbara Gibson. "Dr. Craig Hunter's Jet3D Unix application gets a user interface. With the help of AppleScript Studio and a Power Mac G4, the aerospace engineer has created a program that simulates and predicts the noise from jet engines so manufacturers can work on building quieter aircraft." This was reported by MacInTouch, and then mentioned here, back in July. Here's the doctor's web page for the project.

Mac OS X Hints: An Entourage script to delete junked messages
- "Once in a while I look at the Junk folder and I can usually tell from the subject lines of the messages that they are indeed junk mail. Then I have to delete them manually which involves selecting them all, etc. ... This was irritating, so I wrote an AppleScript to do it..." [hint #20021002063853736]

Acme Script Widgets 3.0 is Jaguar compatible
- MacScripter.net: Acme Technologies Support responds to postings about the incompatibility of Acme Script Widgets 3.0 under Jaguar, and reports that those issues have been resolved. "The ASW osaxen predate even the introduction of the PowerPC chips in the Macintosh hardware line, and they will continue to be updated as long as there is a Scripting Addition API on the Mac (and people find the software relevant and useful). My apologies to Mr. Faiman for the delays. I know how frustrating it is to have software you rely on break, and not know if or when a fix will arrive."
