So, no testing or validation of At Ease | under Mac OS 9 was done. The functionality of Multiple Users is much | the same as At Ease, with improvements and better integration. | | At Ease and Multiple Users cannot be used or installed together. If | Multiple Users is installed at startup, even if not activated, it | removes any older At Ease pieces and places them in the Trash. I'm not entirely convinced by this -- I have a dim recollection that At Ease had some network-user features that Multiple Users may or may not have duplicated. Something to look at though. That Knowledge Base article does however describe the extension trashing behaviour :) Ry
