- It's not wierd at all. On my Mac, most of the installers will quit all
- running applications (including the FINDER) before they begin to install.
- This is true with some versions of Apple Installers and all of the Vice
- Installers. Somehow any program that will try to quit all other programs
- will not work.

- BTW If you wondering what the Finder is... "This file, along with the
- System file, provides the information your Macintosh needs to operate."
