Turbo is OK under MultiFinder.  The old release has a problem on the Mac II
in that it crashes if you attempt to run your program within Turbo.  This is
related to the Mac II, not MultiFinder.  Compilation and running the compiled
file is fine on the Mac II.

I use Turbo under MultiFinder on SE and Mac II without problems, compiling
in Turbo, switching to Finder and running compiled file without quitting Turbo,
and then switching back to source files in Turbo.  This gets around bug on Mac II
and is a very fast and effective development environment.  My typical programs are
250K long in compiled form with some 10 units.  I move them to MPW, commenting
out the unit numbers, and compile them with 68020 and 68881 switches for fast
running on Mac II.  The compatability is fine.

The new release of Turbo announced some 6 weeks ago supports the 256K roms
and gets rid of the bug.  I ordered it from Borland on release and still do
not have it.  Their order processing could do with speed-up but their
technology is fine.
