WHAT THE FUSS IS ALL ABOUT
--------------------------
The purpose of this patch is to let you have a degree of control over
IBrowse 1.22 autosave feature.  Every minute, if no transfers/decodings are
in progress, IB 1.22 saves the state of global history and the list of
cached files.  Now, some people prefer to have rather gigantic caches and
links as old as a year or so, what makes IBrowse really slow for them,
because every minute they have to suffer through multimegabyte disk
accesses.  Or so I am told.

Anyway, decompress this archive somewhere, start a shell, CD to directory
where the patch is and run it, typing

patch

It will ask you some questions, like where is your IBrowse and what should
be the delay between autosaves and then start its job.


BONUS
-----
The hack value of this product is greatly increased by the fact that you
can apply the patch multiple times, even to PATCHED binary and it will
still work.


THINGS TO REMEMBER
------------------
Always operate on a COPY of your IBrowse executable.  The patch is designed
to work with 68020 version only (NOT 68000), with the file 430,508 bytes
long - any other version will most certainly fail or worse, give you
crashes later. Smoking is dangerous to your health.


If your IBrowse refuses to cooperate with this patch - you can't sue me,
but you can contact me and perhaps we can work out some solution. My email
is thorgal@amiga.com.pl.


Have fun,
Milek
