Suitcase II 1.2.9 is nominally the 7.0-compatible version.  I say
"nominally" because some time between 7.0f2c2 and 7.0 final, a change was
made to System 7 that causes the following problem:  after opening a
suitcase file and quitting the Suitcase II desk accessory, any attempt to
use a resource in the file will fail, with results ranging from the
unexpected (opening a DA in the suitcase causes a beep) to disastrous.  If
the file is to be reopened at startup (the default setting), it will open
correctly at the next startup. So the workaround for 1.2.9/7.0 users is to
immediately restart the Mac after opening a suitcase file or files and
quitting the Suitcase II DA.

Suitcase II 1.2.10 will fix this.  An Updater application to update your
version of Suitcase II 1.2 or later should be available on CompuServe,
GEnie, America Online, and AppleLink some time next week.  Anyone who
wants to obtain it from one of those sources and post it to this net is
welcome to do so.  The Updater will probably be for a beta version of
1.2.10, as it will not yet have gone through the full test cycle
appropriate for an "official" release.

I am the author of Suitcase II.
