Several users have complained that once they install System 6.0.7,
the Set Aside feature of their beta MultiFinder (6.1b9 or 6.1b7) goes
away.

System 6.0.7 does not in any way interfere with Set Aside, to the best of
my knowledge.  What happens is this: pre-6.0.7 Installer scripts did not
install MultiFinder at all (you had to drag it from the distribution floppy
separately).  The 6.0.7 script handles MultiFinder like all other files it
installs, i.e. it replaces older files with its own version.  Since the beta
MultiFinders have modification dates earlier than the Set-Aside-less
MultiFinder on the 6.0.7 distribution diskette, the Installer replaces the
former with the latter.

If you want to keep Set Aside alive with System 6.0.7, make a backup of the
beta MultiFinder and drag it back into your System Folder after running the
Installer.
