        Are you sure? A quick peek at InCider/A+ (December 1992, page 14)
Joe Kohn wrote in his Shareware Solutions column, "Ear, from Chris McKinsey.
$10 shareware. [snip]; Ear lets you play either SoundSmith or SynthLAB music
by double-clicking on a song title." 

	Did SoftDisk G-S later purchase the rights to the program? This 
could explain why I cannot find archives of either Finder Extension on
any FTP sites. Chris McKinsey disappeared from the Apple II world several
years ago (I remember this well since it caused the death of his TimeLord
game) so I do not even know where he can be reached.
