Subject: CacheSaver 1.0.2d (German version)
This is the German version of CacheSaver, a shareware control panel
designed to periodically flush the Mac's disk cache to minimize data loss
when your Mac crashes. Special thanks go to Christoph Sahm for his work in
localizing CacheSaver. Please place this alongside the English version
already in the archives.
About CacheSaver:
Like many people, you've probably found that increasing the size of the
disk cache in the Memory control panel can improve the performance of many
applications, especially web browsers like Netscape Navigator. The disk
cache speeds up disk input and output by keeping the contents of files in
RAM, rather than immediately reading or writing them on the disk.
The problem with using a large disk cache is that when you save
information, the data may end up staying in the cache for quite a while
before it really gets written to your hard disk. If your Mac crashes
before the cache gets saved, your data is lost.
CacheSaver addresses this problem by periodically saving (or "flushing")
the disk cache, thus minimizing data loss should your Macintosh crash while
you are working. You can set CacheSaver to flush the cache whenever your
Mac is idle for more than a specific amount of time, or it can do it
automatically at regular intervals. CacheSaver also provides a hotkey so
you can flush the disk cache manually.
