After monkeying around with a beta version of Juggler/Multi-Finder for a few days, I have to say that I find it a pretty solid product (I have 2.5 Megs of memory, so Multi-Finder has a lot of room to play in). It will be especially interesting once I get my update to VersaTerm for background uploading/downloading (yeah!). However, I've got a few questions, still: 1) Suitcase doesn't seem to allow me to open/close font/DA folders under MultiFinder. It will autoload the fonts/DAs in the Font/DA folders, but after that, I'm stuck with them. Works great with Multi-Finder not working. Is this just me, or is this an incompatibility? Can anything be done to get it to work with MF? It is an extremely nice product which I would like to continue to use. 2) Anyone know if the ol' LaserWriter save-to-PostScript option works under the background LaserWriter Spooler? Cmd-F seems to work when background printing isn't enabled (well, actually there seems to be a bug, but it is beta software). 3) I didn't expect my SuperMac SuperSpool for the ImageWriter to work under Multi-Finder -- and it didn't! Anyone know if SuperMac will have an update out for this that will work under MF? Anyone know if Apple will do a BackGrounder for the ImageWriter? 4) The various Launch programs -- Oasis, PowerStation, etc. -- apparently (from previous comp.sys.mac articles) one needs to place in more code when sub-launching so that the Launch Program doesn't quit. Anyone know if updates to Oasis and PowerStation are in the works to do this? Any idea if the "open" command in HyperCard will allow the same type of sub-launching under Multi-Finder? Thanks for any and all answers/speculations in advance.
