In article <25E74315.25927@paris.ics.uci.edu> wngai@paris.ics.uci.edu (Wayne Ngai) asks about loading/unloading ACCs at any time...

There are two programs that will let your load/unload ACCs--MultiDesk
from CodeHead and DC Stuffer 1.0 from Double Click.

I have no experience with MultiDesk, so I can't really discuss it.
I've been using DC Stuffer 1.0 for most of a year and have been pretty
satisfied.  The 0.9 version of DC Stuffer (demo) lets you have up 32
ACCs loaded when you first hit the desktop.  For a small shareware fee
(they don't really list a price; I paid $30 to register both Stuffer
and DC Format at the same time), you get version 1.0.  

1.0 lets you you load up to 32 ACCs upon bootup (memory dependant, of course).
It _also_ lets you load an ACC at just about any time, from within any
program.  You can unload ACCs _only_ from the ST desktop (NeoDesk doesn't
count; you'd have to quit neodesk to dump your accs).  Stuffer sometimes
has trouble loading ACCs that seems to be tied into the most recently
accessed drive (I've found that it's most reliable on loading accs from
the desktop if you the selected window is the one you're loading from).

I've heard good things about MultiDesk; I just happened to buy DC Stuffer
first.  I've been satisfied.
