Speaking of vaporware (just read Sewall's latest) does anyone have any
evidence that the so-called disk caching in GS/OS does any more than
cache directory accesses?  No matter what cache size I selct, I can't
see any evidence that it caches file access -- and I'm using a program
(WordPerfect) that runs on top of ProDos16, so presumably it would take
advantage of it.  Lets put it this way -- suppose I read a small file --
the hard drive lights flash.  Suppose I read it again WITHOUT DOING ANY
OTHER DISK I/O -- the lights flahs exactly the same as they did before.
