The one-eyed leading the blind. Even though I mainly work on Macs, I do all
heavy internet lifting under UNIX. I also can't claim to be an AppleScript
guru, however I do know a thing or two about the MacOS:
The main problem you will run into is one of open files. MacOS locks files.
You cannot have the same file simultaneously opened by two applications.
Thus two instances of the same application (a contradiction in terms of a
Mac) could not open the same log file. However, two threads may share access
to the same file Handle...
