This above statement shows severe ignorance of how the Mac works. Multifinder
is how the Mac does its multiprocessing. DA's are just small applications
that run as another process just as other applications do. Yes there are
differences between DA's and applications, but as 7.0 and beyond comes
out, the difference fades..
