Lately I've seen several requests for a routine that identifies which Finder, System file, etc. is/are currently running. I'm putting such a tiny creature together and so here is a question: What would you like to be told about the system by this program ? bill

With the new system/finder (of course I know what versions!!! 4.2/6.0), the About Finder... menu shows a box telling you not only the versions for each, but how your memory is utilized. This is really swell under MultiFinder. Also, someone recently posted that they observed that the released system/finder/multifinder seemed to run smother/faster than the beta versions. I wanted to add that this is my impression as well. Context switches seem to be faster, fewer delays when pulling down menus. Also, SuperPaint did not seem to work very well under the beta copies, but works fine now, so some things are definately fixed. John G. -- John Gilbert !trwrb!felix!john

There is already a program which does this; it's called "Describe". The Lightspeed Pascal source code for it is archived at SUMEX. -Ted ******************************************* Ted C.
