<Lots of discussion about Multi-Launch not quoted>

Yup, all of that...  Multi-Launch isn't stable, and is liable to hang your
computer at any time...

But then, Alan *said* it wasn't when he put it up on AO (and whatever other
services too, I'm sure)...  The version number might be a tipoff here,
anyway, even if you don't read the rest of his explanation about it being an
unfinished product that work was discontinued on, etc.  <shrug>

It's fun to play with, though, and if you wanted to take the time and effort
to eliminate INITs and such that are incompatible with it, it's occasionally
even useful...

But, I suspect that Alan posted it more as a "See what can be done?" kind of a
move than anything else, and I think it's cool to see, even if I don't use it
for anything that I want to keep...  :)
