Inside Macintosh: Text /
Appendix A - Built-in Script Support


WorldScript I

WorldScript I is a system extension, available with system software version 7.1 and later, that can support all types of 1-byte complex script systems. It contains code that implements many script-aware text-manipulation routines, eliminating the need for each script to maintain its own code extensions.

WorldScript I is a single file located in the Extensions folder within the System Folder on the user's Macintosh computer. It installs and initializes all compatible script systems present in the System Folder, and provides each with a set of standard routines. Script systems compatible with WorldScript I are called universal scripts, because they make use of the universally applicable WorldScript I routines.
