I just tried to run Switcher 4.4 on my Mac SE (Sys 4.1/Finder 5.5),
but found that the Mac freezes as soon as Switcher starts.  Could it
be something in my system file, or does Switcher not work under Sys 4.1?

I tried looking for the value 02B6 in Switcher, using FEdit (Since this
was a reserved low memory area, previously unused, which is now used by
sys 4.1, and which led to the misfunctioning of MacTerminal), but did
not find it.

IS there any way I can run Switcher, or do I have to wait for 
MultiFinder?

And by the way, when will MultiFinder be available?

				Thanks,
