At least on my Mac SuiteCase is not MultiFinder compatible, or depending on one's point of view vice versa. Anyone else on the Net has had similar experiences? Please share with us your impressions.

I am using Suitcase with Multifinder 1.0 with no problems. The only restriction (it's documented in the Suitcase manual with respect to Switcher and Servant) is that you can't open new font or da files while the multitasking software is running. Doesn't bother me much. It would bother me less if you could quit from Multifinder without rebooting, but you can't... Apple: please consider this for a future release. You may be hoping that it will become less necessary to exit Multifinder as more software becomes compatible, but I think there will always be some programs and some system level operations which want the whole machine. For example, standalone backup. Stew Rubenstein Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc. UUCPnet: seismo!harvard!rubenstein CompuServe: 76525,421 Internet: rubenstein@harvard.harvard.edu MCIMail: CSC

For example, standalone backup. You can't?! I have a beta version of MF (1.0b6) (the real McCoy hasn't made it out to New England yet), and if you option-double-click on the Finder under Multifinder, you get bumped out of MF back into single- tasking. Is this a bug or feature that no longer exists in the release version? >Stew Rubenstein >Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc. >UUCPnet: seismo!harvard!rubenstein CompuServe: 76525,421 >Internet: rubenstein@harvard.harvard.edu MCIMail: CSC Rob Jellinghaus | "Lemme graze in your veldt, jellinghaus@yale.edu.UUCP | Lemme trample your albino, ROBERTJ@{yalecs,yalevm}.BITNET | Lemme nibble on your buds, !..!ihnp4!hsi!yale!jellinghaus | I'm your...
