If your hunch is right, then it would seem, to paraphrase Eliot, that the
end of all our exploring is to arrive where we started -- perhaps no
utility or patch will solve the problem. What, in plain terms, did TAME
attempt? Perhaps the answer is somewhere in there. Or perhaps we can
persuade the developer -- or collectively contract with him -- to try to
solve the problem, since he's about 80 to 90 percent there. Martin J.
Osborne has spoken with him as well, I think.


Meanwhile, thinking ahead to less attractive alternatives, I stumbled on
Bootit.

Its user manual...


http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/bootitng.pdf; eudora="autourl">http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/bootitnghttp://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/bootitng.pdf...talks about Multi-OS's in the same partition. I'm not sure whether
that means they can share files or whether you can copy from one app to
another, running two OS, for example. Worth a look.
