FLUSH 1.00 This program was written to force a disk cache to commit any delayed writes to disk. Many of today's disk caches improve performance by holding data in memory which is then written to disk during lulls in activity. For example, you may be editing a word processing document and activate the "Save" feature. If your disk cache is configured to support delayed writes, your document may not be written to disk until you pause from typing. I have configuration batch files which replace my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and then reboot my computer. My problem was that my disk cache wouldn't commit the data to disk before the reboot. I wrote FLUSH so that I could have a command to flush whatever disk cache I might have loaded directly before issuing the reboot command. FLUSH will automatically detect which cache is loaded and then force the cache to flush any delayed writes to disk. The following caches are supported (NOTE: In some cases, I followed specifications for certain versions of a disk cache but was unable to obtain a copy of the cache for testing): Microsoft SmartDrive Norton NCACHE Norton SpeedDrive PcKwik Superpck PC-Tools PCache Qualitas Qcache Fast! All cache names are trademarks of their respective holders. Although it is virtually impossible for this program to cause any harm, to cover my butt: NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED OR MADE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING WHICH MAY HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THE OPERATION OF THIS PROGRAM OR ANY ASSOCIATED ACTION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. After all, it's free.
