- DFACC - DOS File Accelerator v1.0a
-
- 24-May-86, S.H.Smith
-
- DFACC is a small resident utility that can "accelerate"
- file access in many programs.
-
- DFACC predicts when your program will want to read from
- a file and reads the data into a buffer before it is
- asked for. This is the opposite of a "cache" type
- program. A cache keeps data AFTER it has been used;
- DFACC gets data BEFORE it is needed.
-
- DFACC can speed up Turbo Pascal include file compiles by
- 10%. The JANUS/ADA compiler is speeded up by 25%.
- Programs that read and write small blocks can be speeded
- up by as much as 30% due to reduced head seeking. Great
- for use with 'ARC'.
-
- DFACC has been tested on DOS 3.1 with both floppy and
- hard disks. This program should be loaded AFTER
- multi-tasking utilities.
