Dear Adam,

I don't want to be intrusive or rude (although I usually are) but there  
seems to be something, that manifests itself in the Console as:

2005-07-09 22:09:00.524 TCOBrowser[20138] Binding selectedObject cannot  
be bound to <NSUserDefaultsController: 0x137bc0>[applies immediately:  
YES]

Then I browsed through the entries and found "fonteinf" which looked  
promising. And it provided a PDF I wanted to read (or browse at least).  
So I clicked on it in the drawer and that's what the Console tried to  
tell me:

2005-07-09 22:38:10.019 TCOBrowser[20138] CFLog (21): Error loading

A form came up showing the contents of /Applications, from which I  
first tried to select TeXShop (there is no better PDF viewer around),  
but it was grey. Acrobat Reader 5.1 was unusable grey too, Adobe Reader  
6.0.2 seemed to vanish when I opened it's directory, only Adobe Reader  
7 was -- and this one produced the messages. TCOBrowser 0.84 survived  
all this, while the drawer was blank. With the blue arrow I could  
return to entry's contents ... I could not read the PDF file with the  
help of TCOBrowser.

My system (Darwin localhost 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar  
30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC  Power  
Macintosh powerpc) has two MSL.frameworks:

/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader  
7.0.app/Contents/Frameworks/MSL.framework
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/MSL.framework (symlink to  
the above)

So I created a directory  
/Applications/TCOBrowser.app/Contents/Frameworks and a symlink to  
MSL.Framework. Next time the procedure produced this message in Console  
(again two pairs, first instantly trying to execute some default  
application, second pair when I've chosen Adobe Reader 7):

2005-07-09 23:18:09.739 TCOBrowser[20186] CFLog (21): Error loading

library:  
@executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeACE.framework/Versions/A/AdobeACE   
(No such file or directory, errno = 2)
)

Again symlink and new try, now gives:

2005-07-09 23:21:47.128 TCOBrowser[20193] CFLog (21): Error loading  
@executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeAGM.framework/Versions/A/AdobeAGM:

library:  
@executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeAGM.framework/Versions/A/AdobeAGM   
(No such file or directory, errno = 2)
)

Results in:

2005-07-09 23:24:01.185 TCOBrowser[20198] CFLog (21): Error loading

Versions/A/AdobeAXE16SharedExpat  (No such file or directory, errno =  
2)
)

Again symlink and new try, now gives:

)

Now I just copy all the messages, I think you understand how I stepped  
forward.

Jul 9, 2005 11:31:49 PM Acrobat Plug-in load failure: Accessibility ***  
ImportReplaceAndRegister returned FALSE

Here now TCOBrowser brought up a form telling:

"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'Accessability'. The  
plug-in failed to initialize."

After OK:

"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'Comments'. The plug-in  
failed to initialize."

After OK:

"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'DigSig'. The plug-in  
failed to initialize."

After OK:

"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'Multimedia'. The plug-in  
failed to initialize."

In the Console they produced:

Jul 9, 2005 11:33:47 PM Acrobat Plug-in load failure: Comments ***  
ImportReplaceAndRegister returned FALSE
Jul 9, 2005 11:34:25 PM Acrobat Plug-in load failure: DigSig ***  
ImportReplaceAndRegister returned FALSE

ImportReplaceAndRegister returned FALSE

Adobe Reader came up here and swallowed all CPU power, but was not  
shown in the Dock, nor could ps show such a process. I had to Opt-kill  
TCOBrowser ...

/Applications/TCOBrowser.app/Contents/Frameworks contained these  
symlinks:
