- 've encountered no such difficulties at all with ToolsDaemon2.0b (and Silicon
- Menus).

- Maybe I'm lucky?? Actually there was ONE thing that did not work.. namely
- Cygnus Editor. When called using TollsDaemon my machine would Guru whenever
- an attempt was made to open up the requester. I solved this problem by
- running CED in WB mode from toolsDaemon rather than CLI mode (as I originally
- had it.. I used to run CED from my C: dir... becasue I had so many
- things set to call it up... like diskmaster and dir opus...)
