	Now wait just one minute. F/DA Mover works under multifinder
according to the manual. In fact the new version (3.8) doesn't
even give you a warning when you remove DA's from the
system file.
	So if you shouldn't use it under multifinder, then
it should announce that fact when it's launched!

Yes, yes, yes, but removing fonts from the System file is not allowed,
and you have to reboot anyway to get the DAs added to show up in the
Finder's Apple Menu, and ....

Yes it will work under MultiFinder somewhat, but its functionality is
close to worthless in my book.
