98 separate instances of this crappy code. Thanks Apple!!!
Authored by: klktrk on May 19, '04 03:05:14PM
There are ninety-eight separate instances of this poorly conceived AppleScript on my installation. Yippee! Thanks for cramming my hard drive full of idiotic code, Apple. They even localize it!

locate OpnApp.scpt | wc -l

I see 259 copies of this file. Don't worry though. The script is not "crappy." It's harmless by itself. You only need to worry if there's a hole that lets somebody else run the script. The hole is the problem, not the script.
