CacheView
________________________________________________________________________
Introduction....
————————————————
CacheView is a very simple disc cache viewer for Termite Internet. In
the lastest version of Webite it is possible for to use a disc cache
and it is the contents of this that CacheView will display
In use
——————
When you double click with the SELECT button on to an address in the
main window CacheView will attempt to get Webite to open a window
containing that file. If the address has more than 234 charecters then
it will be nessicary for CacheView to create a temporary file which
will contain a link to the page. This is due to a limitation in the
protocal CacheView has to use and Acorn are currently looking in to a
replacement that will fix this problem.
Dragging the address from the CacheView window will make CacheView
attempt to save a text file containing the address in it. This means
that you can very quickly create a links page with the contents of your
disc cache.
