They are the people who put together Shadow, which is marketed by The Catalog/Antic. Or... does anyone know the actual authors of Shadow? Finally, if someone is able to help me accomplish what I'd like to accomplish, then all of that info will be unnecessary: I am trying to do background file transfers in Kermit running the MagicSac on a 1meg 520ST. I've tried to find out from Mac people whether this is possible on a 512K Mac, but the only answer I get is that you need to use Multifinder and 2Meg is recommended....That leaves me out of luck. If Shadow can accomplish this for the ST, why can't it be done on the Mac? Perhaps there is a PD program out there that will do this...maybe professional software companies never saw enough of a market for this, and now that Multifinder is here, they're thinking "why bother?". Anyway, any help in this area will be greatly appreciated...reply to me at email address on bitnet or via the net. Thanks--Gerry
