THANKS, Jack!
I've mirrored this release on ibiblio, and updated the software list.
A news item should appear on the www.freedos.org site in about an

Sorry about the misunderstanding - I did not mean that the
cache would know what a FAT or directory is, just that those
sectors are accessed frequently, giving the cache a chanc
