[comp.sys.mac] MultiFinder Blues

mha@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Mark H. Anbinder) (04/07/89)

After a particularly nasty system crash (my hard disk wouldn't boot
afterwards until I'd removed a dead INIT), I noticed that part of
the problem getting the volume working again was that my MultiFinder
file had suddenly become an application.  Yes, I know that MF is
really an application in disguise, but this copy had really become
a full-fledged APPL, busy-hand-on-diamond and all.

Now, presumably I could change this back to a system-marked file,
but could there be something else wrong with it?  I'm running from
another copy, but I really want to know what happened to the poor
thing! :-)

Note that this is TOTALLY separate from my "Can MultiFinder turn
itself on?" posting.  This latest happened on MY machine, not that
of an uninitiated (or is it uninitialized...?) user.
