I've noticed a lot of discussion about disk cache programs on the
net, but I've never seen Flash from Software Matters mentioned.
I'm using and describing version 7.06 of the program. Flash will
allow the dynamic sharing of both EMS and XMS memory. It also comes
with a dynamic ram disk. What this all means is that, for example,
lets say that you have 512 KB of EMS and 512 KB of XMS memory allocated
to the cache. If you have a program that wants to use either EMS
or XMS memory Flash will free the memory for the program and then
when the program terminates reclaim the memory. The ram disk also
works like this. I've found that Flash is the most versitle of all
the cache programs and that it is also the fastest. I'm not
affiliated with Software Matters in any way except for beta testing
and as a satisfied customer. For more information contact Dave Reed
of Software Matters at (317)-253-8088 or send me email.
