};

The data for an 'osiz' resource consists of ﬂags that specify Boolean values:

■ The ﬁrst ﬂag speciﬁes whether AppleScript should (openResourceFile)

or should not (dontOpenResourceFile) open the scripting addition’s

resource fork each time one of its commands is invoked from a script. You

should set this ﬂag to dontOpenResourceFile if your scripting addition

doesn’t include any owned resources.

■ The second ﬂag speciﬁes whether the scripting addition accepts

(acceptRemoteEvents) or doesn’t accept (dontAcceptRemoteEvents)

events sent to it from a remote computer. If you don’t want users of remote

computers to be able to use your scripting addition, set this ﬂag to

dontAcceptRemoteEvents. This might be desirable, for example, if you

don’t want users of remote computers to use the scripting addition to

modify data on the local machine or if the scripting addition requires

interaction with the user.

■ The following 30 bits are reserved for future use. Their values must be set to

reserved.
