I have two simple questions about MacPascal and the new Finder.
I would like to use it under the new Finder, but fear 
ruining my disk if I were to update it with System Update.
As is common knowledge, Think Technologies chose to use a
fearsome copy protection scheme on MacPascal, complete with
worms and other nasties (fie on you, Think Technologies!)  
Unless one of the newer bit copy programs has overcome these
"worms", one is forced to run off the master diskette.  The
questions are:

(1) Is it safe to use System Update to install the new Finder  (4.1)
    on the master MacPascal disk?  Has anyone tried it?  Does someone at
    Apple *know* the answer to this question?

(2) A related question is the following.  I use a Mac XL at work.
    After quitting MacPascal, one returns to the desktop with MacPascal
    selected as the startup disk.  This takes forever, since I have
    quite a few files on the hard disk, and it's the old finder.
    Then I have to launch the finder on the hard disk which also takes time.
    This is a pain.  Is there an easy way to prevent this from happening,
    again, without destroying the MacPascal disk?  Any information
    is welcome, but an Authoritative (read: Official Apple) reply
    would be best!
