I've been beta testing (for over a year now) an AppleWorks pre-launch
program that's taken the code from ProSel 16's ProDOS 8 launch routine so
that _from the GS/OS Finder_, multiple starts of AppleWorks 5.1 will _not_
crash into the monitor, _regardless_ of whether you use any interrupt
sensitive INITS (Twilight, etc...) in your system, and _regardless_ of
whether you've patched AppleWorks to turn off these conflicts.
It works every time, and cures the same problem on Macs using Bernie and
GS/OS to launch AppleWorks from the Finder.
Because it currently requires the exact _full_ pathname of AppleWorks to be
hardcoded into the file, I have not yet released it on the public. When I
have time to 'polish' that item, I'll release it. If you currently have that
problem and could use an immediate fix, send me an e-mail and the exact
_full_ pathname of your APLWORKS.SYSTEM file, and I'll send you a copy for
testing.
