I am interviewing Andy Hertzfeld tomorrow, and had hoped to talk about
Servant, but I can't find a copy of it around anywhere tonight. Does
anyone have a copy they can send me? This was the finder replacement
he did just before Multifinder came out. I think .953 was the last version.

Wasn't it called "switcher" at that time?

No, this was after Switcher, and before Multifinder.
I just contacted Andy, and he no longer has a copy.
The copy of .951 at Macintosh Garden is corrupted.

It was mentioned in Fabrice Florin's PBS/Nova? film "Hackers" (about the
1.0 Hackers' Conference that Stewart Brand put together)

A huge thank you to Nigel Williams who forwarded a working copy of .951 five
minutes before Bill and Andy arrived. We spent an hour talking about MacPaint
and Quickdraw (Apple has finally given CHM approval to make the sources available)
then another hour on Alice, Dali Clock, Servant, Hypercard, and Magic Cap.
I'm exhausted...

luckily our cat was reading my email and shook me awake at 3am to respond:
"I need bickies!...Al Kossow could use some help; ...milk with these!...you
can go now"

exciting stuff; thank you for your efforts on this interview,I look forward
to reading/listening.
I wonder if Apple would be now willing to release a copy of Lisa C compiler
(beta) - the beta release (only) included the headers/support to allow C
applications to be compiled targeting Lisa (instead of just Macintosh); and
Lisa FORTRAN is still to be found too.

I doubt anyone inside the company would know if copies still exist. Bruce
Daniels might know, but I think it would be pretty tough to find. I'm guessing
Lisa FORTRAN would have come from SVS (Silicon Valley Software) who put one
out for the 68K around the same time as their non-interpreted Pascal which Apple
used on Mac and Lisa and also as the starting point for the MPW C compiler.
