    The first time an application is opened during a session, Lisa sets up a
    process for both that application and all documents created by that
    application. The first time you print from an application, another process
    is opened. Because each process uses 200 blocks, using all seven
    applications requires 1,400 blocks of disk space. Printing requires up to
    another 1,400 blocks.

    A five-megabyte ProFile containing both the Lisa 7/7 Office System and
    MacWorks can easily become taxed for storage space. The Office System alone
    takes up about 6,000 blocks (3 megabytes) and Macintosh software takes up
    another 2,000 blocks (1 megabyte), leaving less than 2,000 blocks for
    storing documents and all associated processes. In short, users who wish
    to run both 7/7 software and MacWorks from the same disk should do so
    from a 10-megabyte ProFile.
