Can anyone who has OSX installed without the Apple Developer Tools (ie the
default installation) confirm whether the defaults command line tool is
installed. Typing the following into the terminal:
defaults help

To see if a command is installed, I guess you could put the shell
command inside a try structure.
Cheers,
Sarah

Are these command line utils part of the default Tiger distribution? And
does anyone know what compression is used if it is not possible to rely on
these command line utilities to be present?

Nothing - they are all small. My only guess is that all the pList files for
all applications ever installed are stored. All these files may be indexed
in some way - as a defaults read returns output from all the preference
files - which makes me think that it may not be compression exactly but a

It's not really compression, I don't think, just binary encoding. And
why? I don't know...
