Since there appear to be at least one person on this list who
has, like me, experienced that SIMS freezes sometimes when
running in the Classic box of OS X, I want to announce a little
fix I've made:

I've written a program that uses a yet-undocumented call (but
Apple said they want to document it eventually) that can force-
quit a Classic app. This is the very same functionality that you
get if you use the Force Quit command from the Apple menu.

I made an app that quits SIMS in this way: First, it looks if
SIMS is running. If it does, it sends an AppleEvent to SIMS
asking it to quit gracefully. If, after 10s, SIMS is still
running, it's being killing by my app, without killing other
processes that might also be still running under Classic.

If anyone is interested in this little app, just ask.
(You still need to have a AppleScript or other process to monitor
if SIMS is still responsive, and launch my app from it. I use
"WhistleBlower" for that purpose)
