FresCache
About the software
FresCache is a piece of software for RISC OS computers, designed to provide selective deletion from Fresco's cache. Using a simple 'rules' file it allows you to, for example, delete all .jpeg files found on www.foo.com, whilst retaining .png and .gif files from the same site.
If you visit any sites on a regular basis, and those sites include graphical buttons for links, you will often find such buttons are .png or .gif files. Therefore by retaining these types of files, and allowing other types, including .html, to be deleted, you can ensure that each time you visit the page the html is downloaded again, which might be necessary to see any updated information, but the graphics are simply loaded from your cache (subject to Fresco's natural expiry). This can reduce your download time.
Compatibility
FresCache is for RISC OS computers, though has only been compiled for those whose ARM CPU is operating in a 26bit mode. Compatibility with more modern machines, such as the IyonixPC, could be achieved with a simple recompile of the software - but since the Fresco web browser itself is unlikely to be updated for 32bit compliance, it hardly seems worth recompiling FresCache.
