- 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?
-
