> Why don't you use any disk cache? Although Arachne works mostly

Mainly because I've never understood it. But prompted by your
reply and Glenn G.'s, I have looked it up in the MS-DOS 6
COMPANION...  gee, there's always so much to read and so little
time...

SMARTDRV is now installed. Unfortunately the cache is empty so I
can't see whether it has helped.

It is.

On C:, so that I don't lose it when I logoff and shut down.

I'm experimenting at present with copying it to E: before loading
Arachne, and then saving it back to C: on exiting. That way I
should get the best of both worlds :-))))

I have now done that.

If I remember correctly, I needed the high buffers setting for
GeoWorks. But I'll check that.
