As Paul notes, some scripts won't work just by changing the application
name. A LOT of them will, however. So the script I wrote (which requires
Smile for script editing) will just make that simple change. Some scripts
will simply not compile if you try this on them. Some will compile but won't
work correctly. So it is a "use at your own risk" proposition.
It's better to wait until the author converts his or her scripts and posts
them. Paul has been great about doing that; I am dragging my feet but doing
it bit by bit (or byte by byte).
I do have a a droplet script that will convert a bunch of scripts you drop
on it. I'll post it on my site soon with LOUD WARNINGS. But there is no
guarantee it won't bomb if a script fails to recompile, or that the
recompiled scripts will work. It just saves a lot of manual "Find and
replace" in Smile.
