As most of us have found, the Sys 7 Finder doesn't give After Dark much
chance, apparently, to move its graphics.  If you're running an
application, After Dark will probably run at a decent speed.

I called Berkeley Systems to find out how to get an updated version
of After Dark 2.0.  I have version 2.0t;  they told me to send in 
my original disk and they'd send me back a Sys 7 compatible version.
The version they mentioned over the phone was 2.0u.

Don't send in your disk on my say-so though, call them first (the things
I have to say to cover my ass...).
