HI FOLKS!

I've been trying out _Launch b5 by "Lunarmobiscuit" aka M. Libes(?),
and have experienced horror.  It seems this program has a nasty
habit of trouncing/modifying the MBDF (standard menu bar definition)
in the system file.  The interesting thing is that you might never
notice.  I noticed because some of my applications hide the menu
bar, which works dandy under 6.0.5,6.0.7.  With _Launch installed,
boom.  Corrupt MBDF.  I hope this is unintentional, but would like
to warn people of this.

Ps.  AfterDark will not activate if _Launch is up.  Another wierd quirk.
