Applescript Mindbender

This is a crazy hack!!!

How to have the same file contain both a shell script and a compiled AppleScript

% /usr/bin/osacompile -o shebang.scpt
on run argv
    argv
end run
^D

% chmod +x shebang.scpt
% echo \#\!'/usr/bin/osascript' > shebang.scpt
% ./shebang.scpt a b c
a, b, c

This puts a compiled applescript in the resource fork and a shell script in the data fork... mind exploded!
