So a SIZE resource is still >important. This is a common misunderstanding. Although Apple recommends that you use Finder 6.0 along with MultiFinder, it is possible to use any of the smaller Finder replacement programs in existence. In such a configuration MultiFinder uses up *less* memory than Switcher (for a variety of reasons), but still provides all of its usual services, such as multiple layers, background processing, etc. Therefore, there is no valid reason to use Switcher, unless you are tied to an old system that cannot support MultiFinder.. If there is enough interest, I will post a finder replacement written by David Shayer of the SQA Tools group at Apple that runs in 18K. Howeve, after using it, I think that most users will become frustrated at not having the complete set of Finder services available. -Phil Goldman Apple Computer
