Install this DA in your system file using the standard Font/Da Mover procedure.
Use WindowTile™ to tile the windows in any application). It does wonders for a crowded Finder desktop! It's also great for arranging source code windows in a programming environment.
The Untile feature is especially useful. You can first fill your screen with a tiling of all the windows you think you might want to use. Then, if you need to work on two or three of them, you can temporarily tile just those, which gives you a sort of multiple window zoom effect. Then, when you're done with those, Untile will put the windows back in their original positions.
This DA is shareware -- the $15.00 fee will entitle you to a couple of updates as new features are added.
Under MultiFinder, you must push down the the OPTION key when you select WindowTile™ from the Apple Menu. This will make it load in the application heap, which is where it must be to do its thing.
Under UniFinder (i.e., not MultiFinder), seledt it as usual without the OPTION key.
(If you have a problem with the OPTION key, you may need to click on the Apple menu without the OPTION key at first. Then, while the mouse is still down, go down to WindowTile, press the OPTION key, and then let the mouse up.)
Don't worry, the program will issue a gentle reminder if you forget the press the OPTION key under MultiFinder. It's really very easy once you get used to it.

Revision History:
11-20-90: Uploaded v1.0 to Think C Forum on Compuserv. Have tested thouroughly with Think C™ and SuperPaint™ on my IIci. Haven't tried it with multiple screens or System 7 or Suitcase yet. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
12-13-90: Fixed window size problem on the SE. Fixed hangup during background printing. Added "Untile" command and margin memory. Added 4th row of tile styles. Fixed Finder PortRect problem. Changed it to install in System file, requiring OPTION-click during menu selection, since res conflicts result if installed in application programs. Fixed problem with Excel. Only known problems are that Microsoft Word acts strangely sometimes, and it won't tile another DA's windows.
2-17-91: Fixed incompatibility with Suitcase. Fixed problem with Microsoft Word. Corrected problem with Finder. This corrects all reported problems, with the exception of multiple monitor support.
