Yes. Multitasking (previously known as MultiFinder) has been integrated
into the system, so that System 7 is a multitasking operating system. With
multitasking, people can work with several programs at the same time and
even do some operations concurrently, like working while printing or
copying files or recalculating a spreadsheet. With several programs
running and available, people get more effective use from the computer.
In System 7, background printing and background copying of files are
standard features. Consult your software developer for details on other
multitasking capabilities.
At a more technical level, multitasking is the ability to do a number of
tasks concurrently. System 7 uses a cooperative multitasking
implementation to run several applications concurrently while doing tasks
in the background.
