Indeed they are.  However, there's only one person maintaining MultiFinder 
these days, so needless to say, he's been a tad swamped. :-)  The upshot 
is that the 6.1bx releases, while pretty stable, are completely 
unsupported (the only reason they exist at all is because of the SADE 
debugger).  However, the nice new features are present in System 7.0.

Just because I work for Apple Computer, Inc. doesn't mean that I believe 
what they believe, or vice-versa.
