Recently APDA distributed a beta version of MultiFinder (6.2a1??) that was in beta testing. One of the features that stands out in my mind is the ability to set aside application windows. Does anyone have this new MultiFinder. I would like to get a copy of it (through either InterNet of BitNet if possible)? Anyone willing?

I would like to get a copy of it (through either >InterNet of BitNet if possible)? Anyone willing? The beta version (thus 6.2b1 or so) was distributed only with SADE, which required certain hooks built into this new MF to work. APDA is the only legal source I know of for this. It does have a nice MDEF trick--changes a menu item with the option key while the menu is down :-), like FullWrite Pro. This toggles between Set Aside <app> and Set Aside Others. Handy. The interesting part, I found, is the new 'official' release of SADE with the official MPW 3.0: it is distributed with System 7.0b1. [Note: I haven't seen this myself yet; this came from a colleague who was recently at an MPW class] This new system is necessary since the new SADE uses Inter-Process Communication. It apparently works much more robustly than the previous, although a few of the error messages are still sometimes out in right field. The recommendation is to stick to 6.0.[23] unless you need the new SADE. -cbb -- Chris Borton borton%uva@mcvax.{nl,bitnet,uucp} Rotary Scholar, University of Amsterdam CS

The Sade manual does say it requires a version of Multifinder >= 6.1 but it does not say anything about requiring System 7.0b1.

Hmmm. Anyone else used Multifinder v 6.1b9 (a beta version) like me? I like it
because it puts the application list at the top of the appl emenu, and allows
the "set aside" feature.
But now it doesn't work for me on startup for some mysterious reason. As the
multifinder is about to be loaded, the computer hangs. Any ideas? Is there a
newer version compatable with v. 6.0.7?

I am working on a project that is supposed to be run under mutifinder. I have not worked with it before and know nothing about what special steps that needs to be taken. What do I have to do to be able to run other programs simultaneously? Will calling SystemTask now and then be enough? Will the same program work with Finder too? How about priorities? I am using Think Pascal 3.0 Thanks for any help /$DR.HEX$

I have been given the task of explaining how to write a small program running in the background. In other words I must set up MacOS so that the ****** gives me some processing time regularly. Lets say about 200 ms a second. Please respond with e-mail. -- dvlssd@cs.umu.se, Stefan Skoglund I Tel +46 90 19 65 29
