Correction to the SERK for CacheMaxImage and CacheMaxInclude

MORE INFORMATION

The FrontPage 98 Server Extensions Resource Kit incorrectly lists the value of CacheMaxInclude and CacheMaxImage as megabytes (MB). This value should be listed as Documents. The corrected values are listed below: A more detailed explanation of these settings is contained in the following paragraphs.

Include file cache (CacheMaxInclude)

Enter the number of files that you want to keep available in memory for inclusion in other files. For example, there may be header, footer, and copyright files that you want to include in some or all of a Web site's Web pages. The predefined setting is set for 16. This is the 16 most commonly used files. If the number is a little low, you will still get optimization for the currently-being-processed files. If the number is high, there may be a performance hit as the time to parse the cache increases.

Image file cache (CacheMaxImage)

Enter the number of image files in memory that the FrontPage Server Extensions can use to create layered pictures in Web pages. For example, one file may consist of a background, another of a Navigation button. The Server Extensions can compose a picture by adding the background to a Web page and then overlaying the Navigation-button image. The picture can be composed faster if the component files are in a cache. If the number is a little low, you will still get optimization for the currently-being-processed files. If the number is high, there may be a performance hit as the time to parse the cache increases.
