As an owner of a new IIci and MPW (with SADE), naturally I'd like to be able to run SADE on my new machine. Well, the SADE multifinder (6.1b7) won't run (well) under 6.04. It bombs fairly rapidly. I called APDA, and while they're aware of the problem (other people have reported it to them) they have no idea what's going to happen to rectify this situation. I'm hoping that maybe one of the Mac DTS people could enlighten myself and the rest of the net as to when we might see a SADE MultiFinder that works with 6.04? Why doesn't the version of MultiFinder distributed with 6.04 have the features to support SADE? Do we have to wait for 7.0? Thanks, Jay O'Conor Unisys/Convergent

There is a MultiFinder version available that supports SADE and works on the IIci. It is MF 6.1b9. It is currently available on AppleLink, but there are legalities preventing us from posting it to the net. I will speak to some people around here (you there, Mr. Johnson?) who deal with this sort of stuff regularly, and see what we can do. As for System 6.0.4's MF, the reason it doesn't support the new stuff is that 6.0.4 is supposed to be a machine support release, which means no new features, so adding the SADE support and Set Aside was not an option for us. Oh well. Anyhow, MF 6.1b9 will be included with MPW 3.1, which will be available in the not too distant future at a reasonable upgrade fee (don't ask for specifics - I don't know them, and with the quake and all, I don't even know when I will know them. The MPW team had to move to another building, so things are in flux right now over there.) Later, Andy Shebanow Psychic To The Stars MacDTS, Apple Computer

As with other parts of System Software and many other things on the first CD-ROM, we are working on trying to come up with a way to make this stuff available via anonymous FTP without endangering our copyrights. It's not as easy as one might think, but I can promise that you will all be the first to know if and when we succeed. -- Mark B.
