Applescript uses the older format for file paths which include the
drive name and where the folders are separated by colon e.g. Macintosh
HD:Users:sarah:Documents:Test.txt

Rev uses the Unix style which does not include the drive name and
where the separator is a slash e.g. /Users/sarah/Documents/Test.txt

To convert from one to the other, use the revMacFromUnixPath() or
revUnixFromMacPath() functions in Rev.
