I'm very new to AppleScript but have worked with other procedural/script languages in the past (mostly Rexx). I have an old script in Rexx which was designed to take a directory tree of files which are too large to fit onto a single CD/DVD and intelligently sort them to fill the least number of discs needed to fully backup the data without compression and without splitting individual files (unless required).
I want to bring this over to MacOS X 10.4 and use it with Burn Folders. The one big feature missing in Burn Folders is the ability to span discs -- if you drop 10GB of files into a Burn Folder, it expects you to use a 10GB disc. Well that's just not possible with CDs and DVDs.
So before I go off on a half-baked idea of trying to port my Rexx script to a language I barely know, does anyone know if this has already been done? If not, I'd welcome the assistance of a more experienced AppleScript developer.
