The only problem I found was configuring it to start MultiFinder after loading, since SuperSpool will only chain to an application, not (as MF is) a system file. My solution to that problem was: 1. Use Set Startup in the Finder to make SuperSpool the startup application, but NOT under MultiFinder. 2. Move an application -- any application -- into the System folder and name it MultiFindex 3. Run SuperSpool (or reboot), click on the SuperSpool screen when it comes up, and change the chained application to MultiFindex. 4. Later, with a byte-editing utility (I used Fedit+) search for the ASCII string MultiFindex in the SuperSpool file, and change it to MultiFinder. (Actually, the chain file name may be in some easy-to-edit resource, but I neglected to check ResEdit.) Pretty straightforward, and has worked ignorably well since.
