═══ 1. Help For Cache Monitor ═══

Cache Monitor General Help 

The C.O.L. Systems Inc. Cache Monitor (CacheMon) is one of the Pegasus Tools 
utilities. 

With CacheMon you can monitor all FAT and HPFS cache activity. 

With CacheMon you can also monitor the system CPU and Memory statistics during 
collection. 

CacheMon collects all measurements and stores them to a log file of your naming 
choice. This log file can then be processed by PegLog, the post processing log 
utility.
