Guess it's no longer there. Here's the script -- just compile it in script
editor, then put it in your Entourage menu Items Folder, quit and relaunch
Entourage, and it should be accessible from the Script menu at the top of
your screen:
property appList : {"Microsoft Entourage", "Microsoft Excel", "Microsoft
Word",
"Microsoft Powerpoint", "Microsoft Messenger.app", "Microsoft Component
Plugin",
"Junk E-Mail Protection"}
property IDList : {"OPIM", "XCEL", "MSWD", "PPT3", "MSNS", "MMcp", "MSOF"}
property sysVersion : "Mac OS Version Unknown" -- Saved between runs
tell application "Finder"
set officeFolder to (container of application file id "MSWD") as Unicode
text
end tell
set msg to ""
repeat with i from 1 to (count appList)
set theApp to item i of appList
set itsID to item i of IDList
if theApp is "Microsoft Component Plugin" or theApp is "Junk E-Mail
Protection"
then -- Not really an app; a library
-- So we cannot use application file id to locate it
try -- Usual location
set theFile to alias (officeFolder & "Office:" & theApp)
set mcpDate to my getinfo(theFile)
set msg to msg & return & mcpDate
on error
try -- Possible alternate
set theFile to officeFolder & theApp
set mcpDate to my getinfo(theFile)
set msg to msg & return & mcpDate
on error
my doErr(theApp)
end try
end try
if theApp is "Microsoft Component Plugin" then set lastUp to mcpDate
else -- Let the user move the apps anywhere
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to (application file id itsID) as alias
end tell
try
set msg to msg & return & my getinfo(theFile)
on error
my doErr(theApp)
end try
end if
end repeat
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set lastUp to text item 2 of lastUp
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
set msg to "Last update applied: " & lastUp & return & msg
-- Find system version
do shell script "system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType"
set report to every paragraph of result
repeat with aLine in report
if aLine contains "System Version" then
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set sysVersion to text item 2 of aLine
set sysVersion to text 2 thru -1 of sysVersion -- trim leading space
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set msg to msg & return & sysVersion
display dialog msg buttons {"Copy to Clipboard", "Exit"}
if button returned of result is "Copy to Clipboard" then
set the clipboard to msg
return
end if
on getinfo(xfile)
set x to info for xfile
return (name of x) & ": " & x's short version
end getinfo
on doErr(theApp)
display dialog theApp & " was not found."
end doErr
