This extension is poorly named; it is more closely related to the Macintosh Script Manager. It contains native PowerPC implementations of many of the general script utilities, including routines used by Roman programs, not just non-Roman. These routines include anything that has to do with laying out and drawing text in QuickDraw. When the WorldScript Power Adapter extension is not installed on a Power Macintosh computer, the routines are emulated, so you are not getting the maximum performance from your computer. Even if you do not have a language kit installed, you should leave the WorldScript Power Adapter extension in your Extensions folder. WorldScript Power Adapter is not needed in Mac OS 8.5.
