Apple, apparently, agrees somewhat.  They opted to discontinue
distributing the software effective with System 6.0.5.  (Look on all
your 6.0.5 disks ...  there's no trace of it.)

There was some mention of it in a 6.0.5 tech file you can ftp from
apple.com.  They decided not to fix incompatibilities between it and
MultiFinder, if I remember correctly.  Users will have to find a backup
program on their own.
