+Cache
+-----
+
+Cache provides a shared location for cached data. This location can be
+used by application authors to store semi-permanent data. Cache can be
+placed anywhere on your computer where it will be "seen" by the Filer
+during start up. (For instance, the "Resources" directory inside !Boot.)
+
+Once "seen" it will set up a cache location, which can be shown by
+double-clicking on !Cache.
+
+
+Application Authors
+----------- -------
+
+Use Cache in a similar way to using Scrap. You *must not* assume that
+Cache is present on the user's system however, as Cache is not an
+official part of the system (like Scrap).
+
+To use Cache you should:
+ * Check for the presence of "<Cache$Dir>" before proceeding
+ * Read from and write data to "<Cache$Dir>.APPNAME" where APPNAME has
+ been allocated to you by the allocations service. See:
+ http://www.riscosopen.com/content/allocate
+ * If the APPNAME directory does not exist, you should create it.
+
+This version of Cache is published by Adam Richardson who can be
+contacted at riscos@snowstone.org.uk.
