Hello,
 
   Just got Multifinder 6.0b6 and System 4.2a4 and have found some bugs I would
like to share:
 
1) Resedit 1.1b1  - On some files, like 'Finder', I get a message:
 
	Error opening Resource File (-49)
 
   If I am running Multifinder, If I run only Finder, everything is OK.  I have
also tried increasing the Resedit Partition, to no avail, it still errors.  Also,
once it crashed the machine back to MacsBug level, but as 'ES' (Exit Shell) 
command recovered to the desktop.
 
2) FONT/DA Mover 3.5 - If running Finder, everything is OK, but if running
Multifinder, DAs don't show when a file is opened!!  It looks like no DAs are
in the file!!!
 
3) POP KEY  (From FKEY Manager 3.0) - POPKEY is as INIT.  It crashes on system
startup as the desktop is being drawn, not when the INIT is executing.  I even
tried setting the 'Magic' rectangle off the Menu Bar or disabling it, to no
avail...
 
4) LS Pascal 1.11a - While running a program in debug mode, I got the message:
 
	Zone Damaged - Continue at your own Risk
 
I did, LSP crashed.  This was under Multifinder.
 
============
All in all, the B6 version of MultiFinder is very slick.  I ran most everything
under it and they worked except as noted above.  Lets see if the released 
version is even MORE improved!!!
