aux.writer tends to bomb on us and lock up Multifinder, and we end up loosing
files.  Right now, its so bad that if I brought in another Mac A/UX, my
co-workers would string me up.  I bought A/UX so we could easily share
disk space and printers with our other workstations, but people are afraid
to use it.
