Surprising.  I've been running SuperSpool 4.0 without trouble under
MultiFinder 1.0 for months.  The only problem I found was configuring it
to start MultiFinder after loading, since SuperSpool will only chain
to an application, not (as MF is) a system file.

My solution to that problem was:  1. Use Set Startup in the
Finder to make SuperSpool the startup application,
but NOT under MultiFinder.  2. Move an application --
any application -- into the System folder and name it
MultiFindex  3. Run SuperSpool (or reboot), click on the
SuperSpool screen when it comes up, and change the chained
application to MultiFindex.  4. Later, with a byte-editing
utility (I used Fedit+) search for the ASCII string
MultiFindex in the SuperSpool file, and change it to
MultiFinder. (Actually, the chain file name may be in
some easy-to-edit resource, but I neglected to check
ResEdit.)

Pretty straightforward, and has worked ignorably well since.
