There is a MultiFinder version available that supports SADE and
works on the IIci. It is MF 6.1b9. It is currently available
on AppleLink, but there are legalities preventing us from
posting it to the net. I will speak to some people around
here (you there, Mr. Johnson?) who deal with this sort of
stuff regularly, and see what we can do.

As for System 6.0.4's MF, the reason it doesn't support the
new stuff is that 6.0.4 is supposed to be a machine support
release, which means no new features, so adding the SADE
support and Set Aside was not an option for us. Oh well.

Anyhow, MF 6.1b9 will be included with MPW 3.1, which will
be available in the not too distant future at a reasonable
upgrade fee (don't ask for specifics - I don't know them, and
with the quake and all, I don't even know when I will know
them. The MPW team had to move to another building, so
things are in flux right now over there.)
