Since one of my main //e has |a 3.5" drive, this is all well and fine. Meanwhile, 5.25"-only users are screwed because Claris didn't want to bother with splitting the dictionary over two disks. 2:-( |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). SEG.PR holds information on all the printers AppleWorks supports. SEG.ER only holds information on your printer(s). So once you're configured, you don't need SEG.PR. |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. You need SEG.AW on each disk. This file holds the desktop and main menu code. Since you have it on the startup disk, AppleWorks keeps asking for that disk. ** ___________________________ ------------------------- _ . ___ -------------------------- ctuel@polyslo.CalPoly.edu (_ |_ l F F | (_) E |_ ucbvax!voder!polyslo!ctuel -------------------------___________________________--------------------------
