Please sign up.
There is a workaround in that you need to do double comparisons
(forward and
reverse) on all strings or reverse the strings in the AppleEvents.
OSType doesn't help as this is not a declare issue but a built-in
RB issue.
I recently read a note about the Perl programmers responsible for
Perl's AppleScript support experiencing this same problem.
The problem is endian, as you might expect. Four-byte OSTypes are
often handled as integers for convenience; because PPC is big-endian
and X86 is little-endian, treating non-integer data as integers is
asking for trouble. Easily enough fixed, but hard to find everything
that needs to be fixed.
