Short: Optimized RAM disk for ENV variables, V1.0 Author: Martin Gierich (Martin.Gierich@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de) Uploader: Martin Gierich (Martin Gierich stud uni-karlsruhe de) Type: disk/misc Version: 1.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Auf ENV-Variablen optimierte Ram-Disk, V1.0 This is a kind of RAM disk handler specialized for environment variables that are usually found in RAM:ENV. Because environment variables (short: ENV vars) are usually quite small and there are lots of them, HappyENV is optimized for lots of small files. This brings you the following advantages: * Smaller memory usage * Faster accessing of ENV vars * You can do "delete RAM:#? all" without hurting ENV vars * Conceptionally much cleaner than the RAM: concept This works by providing you an AmigaDOS(TM) handler for a ENV: device. And there is an additional feature: Every time a ENV var is accessed and cannot be found in ENV:, HappyENV tries to copy it automatically from ENVARC:. This makes it possible to leave out copying the whole ENVARC: directory to ENV: during boottime. To avoid many disk accesses HappyENV remembers files that are not in ENVARC:. So the additional advantages are: * Faster booting * Even smaller memory usage * You do not have to clean up ENVARC:, because unused files in it will not be copied to ENV: HappyENV should run on every Amiga(TM). New since last release: * Mixed read/write with one filehandle possible * SetFileSize() now supported, fixes a nasty bug with SetEnv * Startup options and new MountENV
