- In OS X 10.8 or befor, ModuleLoader.osax (3.0.2 or before) provides smilar functions to AppleScript Libraries. ModuleLoader can resolve locations of libraries and can load depended libraries hierarchically.
- After version 4.0, OS X 10.9 or later is required.
- In OS X 10.9 or later, ModuleLoader enhances functions of AppleScript Libraries.
- In OS X 10.8 or befor, ModuleLoader.osax (3.0.2 or before) provides smilar functions to AppleScript Libraries. ModuleLoader can resolve locations of libraries and can load depended libraries hierarchically.
All of libraries have manuals in own bundles as Help Books. To display the manual, install OpenHelpBook and run the library from Script Menu. The refeneces of libraries in HelpBooks are generated by AppleScriptDoc.
