I just tried a program I wrote on a one drive MacPlus. The memory
and the system components were fine, but I must have swapped the
program disk with the system disk about 30 times before the program
ran. What are the best ways to load all the different code resources
into memory at the beginning before running anything and generating
system calls? I suppose this might belong in alt.folklore, but I would
like to make my code run smoother for the people who still live in
the pre-hard-disk world.

Thanks to anyone who can give me some hints...
