SHARED LAN CACHE CLIENT (SLCCLP.EXE / SLCCLI.EXE)

The SLC Client is a MS-DOS resident file redirector that provides 
transparent caching of LAN and WAN files. The SLC Client can 
cache data to a local non-volatile cache on a local hard disk 
and/or to a shared SLC Server across the network.

In order to use the local non-volatile SLC Client cache, space 
must be available on a local hard disk. The hard disk should also 
be cached using SMARTDRV or some other suitable DOS hard disk 
cache program as SLC DOES NOT PROVIDE any low level caching for 
local hard disks.

The settings for local and remote cache are read by the SLC 
Client from SLC.INI file. The Client first attempts to read 
SLC.INI from the current directory. If it is not found there, it 
looks in the directory where SLCCLP.EXE or SLCCLI.EXE is located.  


SHARED LAN CACHE CLIENT FOR WINDOWS (SLCDLL.DLL)

The SLC Client for Windows (3.1 and 3.11) is used instead of the DOS 
SLC clients to provide SLC redirection in Windows without the use of
any TSR's or low DOS memory.  

The SLC Client DLL is loaded automatically when SLCWIN.EXE is
run if neither of the DOS SLC Clients are resident.


DOS INTERFACE (SLCDOS.EXE)

Once the client is loaded, running SLCDOS from the DOS command line 
shows the current statistics of the cache. For an explanation of SLCDOS
command line options type:

     SLCDOS /?


WINDOWS INTERFACE  (SLCWIN.EXE)

When running Windows, SLCWIN.EXE provides all of the 
functionality (and more!) of SLCDOS in a native Windows 
application.


SLC SERVER REMOTE ADMINISTRATION  (SLCADMIN.EXE)

SLCADMIN is a Windows program to setup, modify and monitor remote
SLC Servers.  This program need not be installed if you only plan to use
local caching on the clients.
