OSL_DD Watchdog What it is: AppleScript that watches your extensions folder for unwanted ObjectSupportLib and Macintosh Drag and Drop. Author: Ton Brand Company: Ton's Software License: freeware 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).
