Short: Unoff. patch to fix autosave in IB 1.22 Author: Miloslaw Smyk (thorgal@amiga.com.pl) Uploader: Miloslaw Smyk (thorgal amiga com pl) Type: comm/www Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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
