Disabling Quattro Pro's Disk Cache

Last reviewed: November 23, 1994

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

Quattro Pro creates its own disk cache with up to 512K of extended memory if you include /x on the command line when you start the program. For example:

   C:\Quattro\q.exe /x

If SMARTDrive is installed and the Quattro Pro disk cache is active, Quattro Pro runs much more slowly. If this is the case, do not include /x on the command line or in the PIF settings Optional Parameters field.
