DFACC - DOS File Accelerator v1.0a
24-May-86, S.H.Smith
DFACC is a small resident utility that can "accelerate"
file access in many programs.
DFACC predicts when your program will want to read from
a file and reads the data into a buffer before it is
asked for. This is the opposite of a "cache" type
program. A cache keeps data AFTER it has been used;
DFACC gets data BEFORE it is needed.
DFACC can speed up Turbo Pascal include file compiles by
10%. The JANUS/ADA compiler is speeded up by 25%.
Programs that read and write small blocks can be speeded
up by as much as 30% due to reduced head seeking. Great
for use with 'ARC'.
DFACC has been tested on DOS 3.1 with both floppy and
hard disks. This program should be loaded AFTER
multi-tasking utilities.
