Does anyone out there know how to let Stuffit 1.5.1 run in the background 
while you work on something else with Multifinder?  Or is it possible?

I saw a friend running a DOS machine where he could the let the archiver
run in the background along with a download while he worked on his C compiler.
Shouldn't the Mac be able to do a similar thing?  (provided the machine
has enough RAM...mine should: SE/30 with 5 MB of RAM)

Also, what programs do any of you know of that can actually run in the back-
ground while you exit to another application?  The only ones I have found
to work are terminal programs and Excel 2.2.  Has anyone had experience letting
Mathematica run in the background.  I guess my general question/thought is
that the machine should be capable of it, but as in the case of Stuffit, there
seems no way to get multifinder to switch applications when it is in t
the process of archiving or unarchiving a file.


Any help or insight would be great, Thanks in advance.
