Netscape cache files

[Susan Persak]

Netscape 3.04 cleans its own cache, so you may wish to upgrade your
version. Actually, performance is enhanced when a file is already in the
cache, but 3.0 will freeze under some circumstances when cache is full.
Cache size is an option. We prefer to set it rather high to speed
performance.
