I've noticed that a couple of applications that print documents will not
print unless the Imagewriter System file is located on the same disk as the
application. MacTerminal 1.1 prints an alert box every time it starts up,
forcing you to click OK before it will proceed, and Multiplan simply won't
let you print, or even do a Page Setup (the options are dimmed).

I can understand that this might be desirable on a one drive system, to
avoid excessive swapping while printing, but it doesn't make sense for two
drive systems. Is there any good reason why these applications can't look on
the system disk for the Imagewriter file? Any way to fool them?
