Cache management: Source code of 'HyperCache' released
In the late 1980s, early 1990s, Canadian-American programmer David Plummer wrote the cache management 'HyperCache'. Inspired by a user's request, Plummer now published the source code on GitHub and wants to give interested users, programmers and developers the opportunity to take a nostalgic look at program code of that time in general and in particular at the 'state of knowledge' of the author, who was still learning C at that time.
For various legal and liability reasons, the code cannot be released as free software at this time, but it is available to anyone for exploration and nostalgic tinkering. If anyone still has Lattice C installed, Plummer would be happy to know if the program can still be compiled. The Obligement website published a detailed test report on this in the early 1990s. There is also an English review in the archives, which among other things also mentions the price of HyperCache Professional 1.01B at that time: It cost US $49.95. (dr)
