- I was too emphatic (read: "incorrect") when I said "_must_". However, I
- still maintain that there's no good reason for an application written after
- 1986 to _not_ accept suspend/resume events. They're just too easy to support,
- and at the least alleviate the need for the OS to waste machine cycles on the
- infamous Switcher/Multifinder desk accessory switching fakeout.
-
- Hmm, come to think of it, what I may have been imperfectly recalling was
- the documentation stating that if you set the activate-on-FG bit then you
- should also set the accept-suspend-events bit.
-
- Anyway...
