Abstract:
Some applications install an obsolete library 'ObjectSupportLib' (OSL) or an
obsolete extension
'Macintosh Drag and Drop' (DD) in the Extensions folder. Since the
introduction of Mac OS 8, ObjectSupportLib is integrated in the system
software and since system 7.5 Macintosh Drag and Drop is built in also.
The obsolete files could lead to strange effects or even crashes. So is would
be useful to check after every third-party software install procedure whether
ObjectSupportLib and/or Macintosh Drag and Drop was wrongfully added. OSL_DD
Watchdog does this for you, after you have put the program or its alias in
the Startup Items folder (which is in your System folder).
