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... -Peter Wayner (wayner@cs.cornell.edu) Peter Wayner Department of Computer Science Cornell Univ.

This might help but on a mac plus you might be running up to some memory limits. What does your program do? Does it use a lot of resources? Any more information would help. -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
