In response to Henry Greenside's article, I'd like to say that
the upgrade he desires (launching under multifinder) has been
available for a few weeks now from Electronic Arts (for a shipping
fee only), and in the form of an updater program that will
update a DiskTools Plus version 1.0 to the MF-compatible 1.01
available on Compuserve in the MACPRO forum data libraries.
Free for the downloading.

In addition to allowing launching under MF, there are some other
feature additions, for example the ability to show a file's real
icon (as would be seen in the Finder) in the DiskTools II Get Info
dialog. Other improvements include better handling of multiple-monitor
setups on the Mac II. A full list is included with the updater.

As for your comment about the DiskTools trash function, well, 
let it be know that I tried it both ways when the product was
in beta, and not one tester (there were 15 or so) wished for
the default to be Cancel instead of Trash. I had to go with the
majority's wishes...

Hope this info helps,
