Hi!

Why isn't it cached? Why can't nwcache cache it? I think, this is a "bug",
because also smartdrv support
caching a redirector.

I tried it, but it didn't go. DiskManager itself shows all  HD  right, but
Dr-DOS and Win95A doesn't support it now.

BTW: I have some questions to redirectors. Maybe you can answer it quickly:
Is there any documentation on the web, how to make a redirector?
Why have all redirectory a sys driver and an exe file
(like atapi.sys and nwcache or drFAT32.sys and drFAT32.exe)?
Why it is so slow? Or isn't is so slow, only nwcache doesn't support
redirectors?

For all, who need drfat32.sys/exe, you can download it at www.drdos.org ,
because it is free for Dr-DOS'S (noncommercial?) users.

Thanks for your answerd!
