UPDATE: New Online


On 5/6/98, Enigmatic Software released version 1.00 of Cache Sentry, the IE4 cache management tool mentioned some weeks ago in the Managing the IE4 Cache article. It fixed some bugs; and it's still free!

And on that note, Infoworld's columnist Brian Livingston, whose 3/30/98 column and 4/13/98 column were about the IE4 cache problem (and the Cache Sentry software), had a new column out last week about his readers' reports of other IE4 issues.

Note: one user-reported NT-specific "bug" isn't present on my machine: that if your home page is an HTML document on the local machine, you can't save the window position. Since that reader indicates it's an NT-specific bug, I imagine he's got a dual-boot with Win95 which tries to share IE4 settings with NT, and that that somehow causes this bug.

My Top of the Top 5 Sites, Saviltech's NT FAQ, added a discussion area using WWWBoard, and it seems to be pretty hoppin'.

As well it should be: could it make any more sense than to have a discussion board on a Frequently Asked Questions web site? In many discussion groups, people ask the frequently asked questions because they don't know where the "official FAQ" is. Here, there's no excuse: you have the FAQ presented first, and if your query isn't in the FAQ, you post to the board! Bookmark it!

Speaking of Saviltech's FAQ, if you subscribe to Windows NT Magazine, I'm sure you've noticed that John Saviltech now writes a regular column for the magazine, as of last month.

I'm anxiously awaiting the availability of a new NT book edited by John Enck called Windows NT Magazine's Administrator's Survival Guide Volume 1. Although it's touted to be a compilation of articles from the magazine over the last 3 years, and they're therefore freely available from the website, the compilation itself should add up to more than the sum of its parts. Nothing like hardcopy.

I'm not sure what's in the book yet, of course, but here are some example articles I've found to be extremely useful, which might give you a taste of what to expect from the book:
