I just got AppleWorks 3.0 on Friday, and I had it sent on a 3.5" disk
because I wanted the large dictionary.  Since one of my main //e has
a 3.5" drive, this is all well and fine.

My other //e, however, has no 3.5" drive, and I want to be able to use
AW 3.0 on that.  Page B-10 ("Creating a Specialty AppleWorks Disk")
pretty much tells what files are on which 5.25" disks (but it doesn't say
where SEG.PR should go).

I have a 5.25" copy working right now, but when it preloads (I have a meg
in my second //e), it asks for the disks in something like this order:  WP,
startup, DB startup, SS, startup.  It seems that this is more disk swapping
than is necessary.

I have my disks configured as follows:
Startup disk:  ProDOS, aplworks.system, seg.aw, seg.el, seg.er, seg.pr, seg.xm
WP/DB disk:    seg.db, seg.wp
SS disk:       seg.ss

(I have an Apple-compatible RAMcard, so I use seg.xm.)

So the question is:  Does AW 3.0 really need all this disk swapping, or
should some file(s) go on different disks?
