Apple Script is the built-in scripting language of Mac OS. It has been around since the days of System 7, and it's still very useful today. Applications can make their functions scriptable, so you can do really powerful things, moving data from app to app, processing it along the way. These are some useful scripts I've made for various tasks.

This script lets you split up text based files into multiple files, based on how many lines you want. It uses the `split` command line tool, but all you have to do is drop a text file on to it, and answer the questions in the dialog windows.

Drop a file or folder on to this script, choose GZip or BZip2, and this script will tar and compress the folder. You can also double click the script and choose a folder. Files only work when you drag them into the applet.
