Actually, Suitcase is quite useful under System 7. For me, its big use is to
allow me to not place all my font files in the system file. I have a large
collection of Adobe fonts; installing them into the system file would balloon
the file size to something quite unreasonable. Suitcase allows me to place
the fonts in a seperate font directory along with their associated postscript
files. Makes for a less crowded system file and folder.

So, Suitcase will probably live on under System 7!
