COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT
C&D Programming's CacheAll Version 1.0 is compatible with LANtastic NOS
version 4.x.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CacheAll is a disk-caching program which can cache all DOS compatible
devices accessible through a drive letter, including local hard disks,
network'ed drives, CD-ROM drives, WORM drives, etc. 3 types of memory
configurations are supported: extended, XMS and EMS. You can also use your
local hard drive as additional cache memory.
By default, CacheAll only caches files which are open with Deny Write or
Exclusive sharing privileges. It is designed for speeding up read operations
on the workstation side, whereas the LANtastic LANCache caches the local
physical disk drives and is geared towards write operations on servers.
INSTALLATION:
If you are installing CacheAll on a LANtastic server for use by various
workstations, you should complete the following steps:
1. Install the CacheAll program onto a LANtastic server by running the
CacheAll INSTALL program from the distribution diskette. The installation
program will automatically create the program directory, C:\CACHEALL by
default.
2. Set up a sharable resource (e.g. \\SERVER\CACHEALL) on the server
with default Access Control List (ACL) using NET_MGR. No special
ACL's are necessary.
3. Set up LANtastic Group and/or Individual accounts with correct
privileges using NET_MGR. No special privileges are necessary.
No special workstation installation is needed. You can just log onto the
CacheAll server, redirect a drive to point to the appropriate resource and
run the CacheAll program.
CONFIGURATION:
CacheAll must be executed after all components of the LANtastic network have
been started, especially REDIR and SERVER. During our testing, we did not
find any problems with CacheAll co-existing with LANCache on the same
machine. The minimum amount of memory required by CacheAll is 18K and it
can be loaded high. CacheAll has many command line options to configure its
performance and memory usage. Refer to the documentation for a listing of
all options.
NETWORK DISCONNECTS
Network disconnects produce the same type of errors that DOS produces. For
example, if P: is a cached network drive, a disconnect will produce the
following error message:
Server connection to network node NODE01 broken reading drive P
Abort, Retry, Fail?

This document has been designed to help with the installation and setup of
CacheAll in a LANtastic network environment. If a problem arises which
