Save/Read Data

Save/Read Data is a scripting addition that is designed to enable users to write and read data to and from a file. While there are several other scripting additions that can perform similar functions - such as the ones that come with AppleScript 1.1 or Script Tools - this OSAX addition is unique in that it acts directly on the data fork of any file. As a result, users can easily read and write the data fork using their scripts, and even save a file's contents within a script container.

It is worth noting that users must exercise caution when using Save/Read Data with certain Fat application data forks, as they may contain code that is designed specifically for Power Mac machines.

In terms of recent updates, one notable change in this software release is the fact that the "type" parameter has been updated to "thetype" for users who are working with sys 8.5. This change is designed to make the software even more user-friendly and accessible for users on this system.

Overall, Save/Read Data is a highly useful software solution for anyone seeking to streamline their data management workflows and take greater control over their files. With its powerful scripting capabilities and ease of use, it is an excellent addition to any software toolkit.
