The April 1990 (i.e. latest) issue of Byte has a sidebar on A/UX 2.0
(page 113). It contains the following quote about A/UX and MultiFinder:\
Note, however, that multiple tasks under MultiFinder will
not run reliably in conjunction with A/UX. According to
Apple's product managers for A/UX, the Unix preemptive
schedular can "bring down MultiFinder."
This seems to imply that MultiFinder can only run one task at a time
under A/UX.
