It seems like it limited itself largely to System 6 apps, which if
MultiFinder weren't running, *could* (I say *could*) provide a passable
approximation of the GUI for well-behaved apps. I'm really interested to
see how they reimplemented the Toolbox under these circumstances, but
no one seems to know if any actually got sold. Did they?
