My news server is really messed at the moment, and I can't get to csa2, so
since all this SI! talk has been going around, what does SoftSwitch do? It
multitasks P8 programs? I tried it once, and it looked okay, but I couldn't
get it working.. 

Couldn't you create a "Compatiblity" Aux type for some SI programs and have
programs in seperate windows? if it writes to the screen, it's incompatible,
but those "Mac-like" programs that follow all of the "Hell Laws" (aka the
Apple Human Interface Guidelines) will be able to run in seperate windows..

Jawaid, I thought you said that the SI! Icon was like the Mac Multifinder..
It SURE doesn't look like one to me.. ;)

  SoftSwitch switches between P8 programs on a IIgs.  It's pretty limited
but does what it does fairly well.

  There are several (many) other problems, which are all listed in 
the Switch-It! DEMO documentation.
