Sherlock temporarily "requires Mac OS X 10.3"

Sherlock, the Internet searching and data retrieval tool in Mac OS X 10.2.x, temporarily displayed a message indicating that users need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3 or later in order to use some channels.

MacFixIt reader Cory Cooper writes "I went to use the Movies Channel in Sherlock 3 today, and I get an error message as follows: "You need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3 or later to use this version of the Movies Channel." I deleted the appropriate plist files and I still get the error message."

FJ Smith adds "This is disturbing. Actually it makes me mad. This morning I launched Sherlock on my TiPB running OS 10.2.3 and clicked on the "movies" channel and received the following message: "You need to upgrade to Mac OS X10.3 or later to use this version of the Movies Channel" I bought this feature in Jaguar. All of the other channels in Sherlock are working properly (so far)."

The problem - which also affected the phone book channel - appears to be resolved now, and the channels should be fully usable in Mac OS X 10.2.x.
