Where can I get the latest version of CACHExxx.PRG?  Does anyone
have any comments on this or other caching programs?  (Ie. any
problems using them with partitions >16 meg or any comments
about their usefulness.)

Is this program public domain or do I need to shell out $$$ for it.
(I'm willing to do that if it is a useful program.)  If it is not
in the public domain, what info do I need to give my dealer so that
he can get it for me?
