Yes!!! there is definite interest!!! Please post!!!

I picked up Multi_Launch, which uses only 30K as opposed to 160K that
finder uses... but there is the prob that it doesn't seem to work
perfectly... for example, i couldn't get versa_term pro 2.2 to down/up
load in the background while using Multi_Launch... but I did notice
that GLA (graphics Load Average) was able to run in the background...

PS> I've posted Multi_Launch in the mac sources newsgroup... it's
    a 5K prog, so if you're interested, it may be worth your time
    just to check it out...
