I don't pretend to know anything about system 7.0 (in fact I know
practically nothing, no pretending).  I have heard that fonts and DAs
are handled better than at present.

A friend is getting a new machine and will probably go to 7.0 much
sooner than I will.  She will probably not acquire a great man DAs,
but she will almost certainly use fonts by the ton.  In system 6.0.x I
would recommend she buy Suitcase II; but if system 7.0 makes it
unnecessary, obviously I don't want to tell her to buy it.  So the
question is: what does Suitcase do for one under system 7.0?

Thanks for any replies.  If you mail answers, I'll summarize here.
