[net.micro.mac] Running FileVision with Switcher

Has somebody out there successfully run FileVision with switcher? I can get it
to run ok with the default 128K partition, but if I try to configure it first,
it tells me to "Insert the original FileVision Disk".  It seems that Switcher
writes a SIZE resource to the disk (even if you select "Temporary" in the
config screen) and this destroys the copy-protection info.  The change appears
to be permanent - it wouldn't accept my disk as an original FileVision disk
again. Another nasty - while it was asking for the original disk, it ignored
mouse clicks so I couldn't even get back to Switcher. It would be really nice
if I could cancel the disk-swap request; just as well I *had* an original
FileVision disk to insert (thank you Copy II Mac). I was using Switcher 4.4,
and the UK version of FileVision. I don't know whether to report this to Telos
or Apple; maybe I should do both.
