I would like to try and balance the argument that AWGS crashes frquently.
I have a ROM 01 GS with 3.25 megs of RAM.  Previous to getting the extra
RAM I experienced crashes with AWGS like a fish experiences getting wet.
I was saving documents every minute or so and things like the graphics
module would take forever to erase something.  Now with the CVTech Ram
card I RARELY experience a crash in AWGS.  Not only that but some of the 
functions have sped up... or to be correct they are no longer bogged
down by the low memory.  I beleive that AWGS needs a LOT of "continuous
blocks" of RAM to work effeciently.  Try this:

Hold down option while selecting the "About AWGS"...

It will tell you how much memory and continuous blocks you have.  I have
about 648k of continuous... before I had about 64k or so... big improvment.
If you want AWGS to perform you NEED the extra RAM... especially with
System 6.  I would recommend at least 3 megs...  I'd try this before
blaming AWGS for being buggy.

Hear hear...  :)
