2  Installing CACHE_ED
**********************

It is really simple!

Jut copy CACHE_ED.PRG and CACHE_ED.RSC to the path where CAB.APP is located.
It *must* be placed in the same folder because CAB searches for CACHE_ED.PRG in
it.

When CAB is able to find CACHE_ED the Menuentry "Cache-Tool..." in CAB is
useable. Clicking on this Menuentry starts CACHE_ED.

NOTE:

    There is no chance to start CACHE_ED from your Desktop. It *must* be
     started by CAB.

    Owner of the new Cab-Release (1.4 as of 5.8.96 (actually beta)) can copy
     CACHE_ED in the MODULES-Folder instead of the Cab-Dir. That works too.



3  Using CACHE_ED
*****************

I gave my best to wrote a intuitiv useable program.

But there are some features which are not easy to find. And so i now write
this little documentation to help you, my user...

After starting CACHE_ED via CAB the file CACHE.CAB (in your CACHE- Folder)
would be read. Aeh, first CACHE_ED searches all listed HOSTS in CACHE.CAB
(e.g. "www.mediadrom.no", "www.shareware.com") and then all URLs from withing
this Host are read.

www.shareware.com/*.*

(you know what i mean with /*.*, right? ;-))

After scanning the CACHE.CAB succesfully CACHE_ED opens a dialogue.

 *Listbox HOST* Here you can select a host from the list of all hosts listed in
     CACHE.CAB. After selecting a host CACHE_ED loads all URLs from this host
     and put them in a second list. See 'Listbox URL'.

 *Listbox URL* Here you can select a special URL from a list of all URLs from
     the selected host.

 *URL* Here the complete URL you selected (Listbox HOST + Listbox URL) is shown.

 *Filename* The Name of the File on your HD which is used by the selected URL
     from the selected Host.

 *Lenght* The Lenght of the File your CACHE-Folder (Filename).

 *File-Date* The Date of the File on your Harddisk. The Date when the file is
     last opened to write (after editing for example).

 *File-Time* The Time of the File on your Hardisk. The Time when the File is
     last opened to write (after editing for example).

 *URL-Date* The Date when you got this URL from Internet. The Date when the file
     is closed.

 *URL-Time* The Time when you got this URL from Internet. The Time when the File
     is closed.

 *View URL* This Button is only useable under Multitasking and CAB must run as
     an Parallel Application. If Useable; a Mouseclick on this Button sends a
     Special AES-Message to Cab which says that CAB should VIEW this URL. If
     it is an HTML-File CAB loads this Page like any other HTML-Pages.

 *Remove URL* The selected URL would be removed (from CACHE.CAB and HD) after a
     last warning.

 *Remove HOST* All URLs from the selected HOST would be removed (from CACHE.CAB
     and HD) after a last warning.

 *Copy File* After using this Button another dialogue appears. Copy URL.

 *Quit* Quits CACHE_ED.



4  Copy URL
***********

Here you can find two Listboxes. The first one is for define the destination
path to copy the file(s) too. It is "predefined" with; 'Fileselector' as first
entry. All other entrys are the folder which you can define in CAB as HTML-
Folders. They are given to CACHE_ED from CAB.

The second Listbox hold all URLs from the selected Host. Here you can mark all
those URLs which you want to copy. For default; all URLs are marked.

If you want to deselect ALL URLs you have to click on the -Sign on the upper
right side of the listbox. Single-Click on it selects all URLs, Shift-Click
deselects all URLs.

If you just want to de-/select one URL just click on the entry you want to
de-/select.



5  Selecting a host
*******************

While selecting a host (and also in selecting a URL) you have an autolocator
to select the right host while typing the name of it.



6  ToDo
*******

    The Copy-Function is'nt the best at the moment. When you want to copy
     more than one file and these begin all with the same "long" filename
     (face_value_test.001, face_value_test.002, face_value_test.003) then you
     only get on file at the end (face_val.ue_)... I must think about that to
     find a better solution.

V0.40

    Little Bug fixed which causes CAB to show the wrong Pages.

    No Quit-Alert at end of program.

    Little Documentation written.

    A bug in viewing the File-Date fixed.

V0.30

    When copying URLs the selection you made now give a effect

    When Fileselector is used, "Select a path..." is shown as Title. Not
     "Select a Editor" ;)

    When using Fileselector, the file would be copied now.

    The last URL would not be copied. fixed

    Under Magic 5 CACHE_ED is not an ACC now. Really stupid Bug in the Face
     Value-Engine.

    little other changes

    NOTE: YOU can add (or; please add) this release to your Homepage if you
     want. It is also allowed to upload it to FTP- Server!!

V0.20

    cache_ed can now remove all URLs from the selected Host. Hi Flinny.

    cache_ed now gives an Fileselector when you have choose to use it.

    New Autorlocator for the HOST- and URL-Listboxes. Test it out :-)

    cache_ed now should run in all resolutions. TEST IT!

V0.10

    CACHE_ED.PRG can only be called by CAB! Use the Menuentry "Cache-Tool" to
     start CACHE_ED...

    Please have a look at the Objects... Does the occur correct in 3D?

    actually there is an DEBUG-Window which only have an Mover and an
     Infoline. No slider, no closer.

    With "Copy" you'll get an list of all URLs listed in CACHE.CAB for the
     selected "Server". For default all URLs of an Server would be copied. You
     can deselect the URLs you don't want to to copy.

    Note for Alexander: Alle von uns ausgemachten AES-Messages werden
     ausgewertet und SOFORT bearbeitet. CACHE.CAB neulesen usw... Du solltest
     also mit CAB_CCHANGED vorsichtig sein und nicht zu viele schicken ;-))

     Der Autor der GEM-MSG-List ist ber unsere MSGs informiert und hat's
     notiert. In der nchsten Ausgabe der Liste sind unsere MSGs dann auch
     bei. Ich habe die MSGs von $CAB0 bis $CABF reservieren lassen.
