Change config.sys call to run for cachef32

[abwillis]

I am suggesting changing the call statement for the cachef32 in config.sys be changed to run.

No, cachef32.exe always started as call=, because it is run synchronously. It starts daemon in the background, then terminates, that is.

hm, it was there originally -- strange

[abwillis]

I do not think it needs to be in path. Call is only needed in config.sys if there is something that needs to complete before something else is run. Call waits for it to complete before config.sys processes. Run allows the config.sys to continue processing while the statement finishes its thing. Unless something else in the config.sys relies on cachef32 completing, config.sys processing can continue while it completes.

[Valery V. Sedletski]

It, possibly, needs to have FAT32 utilities on PATH, but d:\os2 is on PATH anyway. Right, cachef32.exe needs to be completed until config.sys processing continues. It starts lazy writer, loads unicode translate table, and starts itself as a background process, asynchronously. Then it terminates and config.sys continues. This is done in a very short time, so no need to change something.

[Valery V. Sedletski]

The call= statement is an intended way of running cachef32.exe, so no need to change it to run=. So, I close it.
