SoftSwitch is published by Roger Wagner Publishing.  It runs on a IIGS
(only), and provides a CDA that lets one switch among several "current"
8-bit Apple II programs.  For example, one can switch from AppleWorks
(8-bit version) to the old French 8-bit graphic Finder-like desktop and
back.  I find it most useful for saving the state of a game such as
Wizardry (which does not itself support a "save" command) before trying
something dangerous.  If I need to, I can restore the saved state using
SoftSwitch.  SoftSwitch is of no particular use with 16-bit applications.
