Another way to create Finder-clickable shell scripts

Another way to create Finder-clickable shell scripts
There is a freeware program called Platypus that makes a shell script into a Finder-clickable app. The program also has options for using Perl, Python, Ruby and AppleScript (why would you need a program that makes an AppleScript executable? :\ ) PlatypusLaunch the program, choose your options, and create an applet. Easy. I use this application to run a shell script that compiles statistics of my Jedi Knight II game server. :)
Drag-and-Drop Input
What about file input? It would be great if I could drop some text files on a such an application, but Platypus doesn't support it.
Drag-and-Drop Input
I was looking for Drag and Drop input too and found ScriptGUI, which passes the files dragged as arguments to the script if you save your app as scriptlet.
Drag-and-Drop Input
Apologies if this has been mentioned above, but I didn't see it: DropScript (search on versiontracker) does what the hint claims to do, but reliably, freely (in whatever sense you wish), and allows files to be dragged onto the resulting icon (unlike platypus, at least for now). It's been available since 2001.
