- History
- v1.10
- This package is for concache.exe internal reorganiza-
- tions. The results are less bugs, faster executions,
- more stable startup and more compatibilities. Preread
- is now functional, some options were made built-in. A
- few command line parameters for concache.exe were
- changed. The previous version, v1.00, was, as seen
- from this version, at best an experiment. Finally, the
- core algorithm is now patent pending.
-
-
- also v1.00
- This package corrects the omissions and inconsistencies
- of documents found in the initial release. No *.exe
- changes. However, the whole repackaging is done.
-
-
- v1.00
- This package is the first public release of con-
- cache.exe.
