*** WINCAT/PRO 4.1 DISK and CDROM CATALOG FOR WINDOWS ***
***    to boldly go where no cat has gone before !    ***

What is it

WinCat/PRO is todays most advanced cataloging system. It helps you keep
track of your growing collection of files on floppydisks, opticals,
harddisks and especially CDROMs. Its userfriendly displays and splendid
graphics make WinCat/PRO a joy to work with ; its high speed, high
capacity and numerous useful features make it an indispensable tool for
the power user.

What does it do

WinCat/PRO creates a database of all files that hide on your disks. That's
where similarity with other cataloging programs ends... Suppose you need a
font viewer ; there are lots of those on your CDs, but how do you find
them if you don't know that they are called FV110.ZIP or WFL30.ZIP ?

That's why WinCat/PRO also tries to document the files ; when cataloging a
disk, it automatically reads descript.ion and files.bbs files which
contain descriptions of those files. In addition, you can import
filedescriptions from other sources, for instance indexlistings on CDROMs
or BBS AllFiles listings. With the utility-program WinCat/DIZ you can even
extract all FILE_ID.DIZ filedescriptions from ZIP and ARJ archives.
WinCat/PRO can handle filedescriptions of up to 500 characters.

Now finding that font viewer is easy ; all you have to do is to search for
'font', and WinCat/PRO will show all applicable files instantly.

But WinCat/PRO even helps you when you don't know what you're looking
for... Suppose you buy a new CD ; how on earth can you see what's on it ?
The Windows' FileManager leaves you out in the cold, as it would take you
ages to browse through thousands of directories and files with cryptic
names. Again WinCat/PRO comes to the resque : it can instanly show you all
files by 'function class', e.g. programs, graphics, archives, etc. Or you
can browse through the directory list, or show all files created in 1995,
etc. So, no matter how vast the amount of data on your disks : WinCat/PRO
provides the guided tour. In four languages... :-)

After having found a file, you probably want to do something with it. With
the 'Restore' function you can start any Windows or DOS application to
work with that file. Or you can 'drag' the file to another application.
With the utility-program WinCat/unZIP you can even unpack ZIP and ARJ
archive files !
