FILES CREATED ON YOUR HARD DISK DRIVE:
Our OSLO program will create files on your hard disk drive when you drag the "OSLO" folder to your desktop . The files created and stored on your hard drive are necessary to save graphics and store information created during your use of OSLO's special features, such as Maze Arcade scores, Coloring Book artwork, and Adventure game clues. Our program will seek and store about 6MB of data on your hard disk drive. If you need to recapture use of this space for your own purposes remove the entire OSLO folder from your hard drive.
We thank you for the use of your hard disk space to enhance the performance of OSLO.
