We were contacted by a company called BrainStorm from France. They claim to have a program that could be called the MultiFinder, but since they can't call it that, they call it The Manager. Supposedly, it is supposed to do exactly what the multifinder does on the mac, except it will also allow for Background printing, something the multifinder doesn't support.
