Allotting disk space for user records

Authorware creates user records when it runs a piece that has Resume selected in the On Return option of the File Properties dialog box. It retrieves the values in the user records file to determine the location on the flowline and the current custom variable values when the user quit or Authorware left the file.

When you distribute packaged files that have Resume selected, be sure to reserve enough space on the user's hard disk for the user records folder. The amount of space needed depends on the number of files, the number and contents of custom variables, and the number and type of objects appearing in the Presentation window when the records are saved.

Typically you should reserve about 100K for the user records folder. Authorware automatically allocates space in the records folder for each file.
