[comp.sys.mac.system] Alternate finders

dm57+@andrew.cmu.edu (David William Medvitz, Jr.) (06/15/90)

    Where could one find an alternate finder or multifinder?  Also, for you 
programming buffs, how would one go about programming one?

Thanks in advance, 
Dave

Generally, you don't. The Finder knows more than us mortals
about the Mac OS, and pulls some strings we others aren't
supposed to know about. A system running a non-finder finder
wouldn't work as well as a system running Finder.

If you REALLY want to do it, check the tech-note about
sub-launching (176 ? I don't have the stack handy)
