Cache ----- Cache provides a shared location for cached data. This location can be used by application authors to store semi-permanent data. Cache can be placed anywhere on your computer where it will be "seen" by the Filer during start up. (For instance, the "Resources" directory inside !Boot.) Once "seen" it will set up a cache location, which can be shown by double-clicking on !Cache. Application Authors ----------- ------- Use Cache in a similar way to using Scrap. You *must not* assume that Cache is present on the user's system however, as Cache is not an official part of the system (like Scrap). To use Cache you should: * Check for the presence of "" before proceeding * Read from and write data to ".APPNAME" where APPNAME has been allocated to you by the allocations service. See: http://www.riscosopen.com/content/allocate * If the APPNAME directory does not exist, you should create it. This version of Cache is published by Adam Richardson who can be contacted at riscos@snowstone.org.uk.
