Heh heh, try compiling this script:
179769313486231590772930519078902473361797697894230657273430081157732675805500963132708477322407536021120113879871393357658789768814416622492847430639474124377767893424865485276302219601246094119453082952085005768838150682342462881473913110540827237163350510684586298239947245938479716304835356329624224137215
(In case anyone’s wondering, that’s the largest number Applescript can understand before getting an overflow error. I guess it’s not used to seeing numbers written out to the last digit)
It looks like “Syntax Error. Some object.” changes into that once your number has more than 255 digits. I wonder if there are any other special errors that Applescript can come up with? has anybody else ever seen any of them?
