Adding Multiple Disk Files to the Desktop
When adding multiple-disk or segmented files to the
Desktop, the file MUST be loaded from the data disks in
the same sequence as it was saved. AppleWorks will
prompt the user to insert the NEXT data disk(s) until the
file is completely loaded.
If you list the files on disks that contain segmented files
you’ll notice that the first segment has the filename that
you gave it. The next segment (on the NEXT disk) will
have a “.2” appended to the end of your filename. The
next disk in the sequence will have a “.3” appended to the
filename and so on. In this way, AppleWorks helps the
user keep track of the segmented Desktop file sequence.
You’ll probably want to label your data disks in such a way
that you too can keep track of the proper sequence. You
may segment up to 9 disks (“.9) in this manner.
Print-File Cache
One small file (SEG.PR) on the AppleWorks program disk
contains special configuration information about such
things as your printer information, standard location of
your data disk, and enhancement options. The
unmodified version of AppleWorks leaves this
information on the program disk and is not preloaded
along with the program overlays.
When AppleWorks needs information from this file it
prompts you to reinsert the AppleWorks program disk.
The enhanced version of AppleWorks loads this file into
memory at startup and eliminates the need for the
program disk (until overlays are bumped from memory).
Only when you change the contents of this file does the
enhanced AppleWorks prompt you to insert the program
disk.
