   Install Directions: 
 
      Copy the files to your hard drive in it's own directory.

         You must have 4dos.com or NDOS.com loaded in place of
         command.com in config.sys for this program to work.
         You can't just run them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Directions:

      To catalogue drive A type:           cat
      To catalogue drive B type:           cat b
      To re-catalogue a disk type:         cat r
      To delete a catalogued disk type:    cat d

   Thats it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:

      You're database will be saved in a file called database.txt.  You
   can alter the file any way you please with a text editor.

      Deleting catalogued disk will not change the current disk number
   means if you catalogue disk 6 and then delete it, the next disk to
   be catalogued will be disk seven.  You should just re-catalogue disk
   six.  The delete option is just in case you rename a disk 77 instead
   of disk 7.  Then you can delete disk 77 and catalogue disk 7.	

      The disk numbers are kept in the file disknumb.ers   You can also
   manually change the numbers to start a new database or make your 
   current database start counting from another point.  The first number 
   is the A disk and the second number is the B disk.

      This is an easy to use catalogue program for 4dos and NDOS users.   
   The reason for the very limited options is because it is the way I 
   like it: fast and easy.  The best feature of this program is that it 
   automatically names your disks put into  the catalogue 1A, 2A, 3A, 
   1B, 2B, 3B.  This makes it so you can distinguish between disk sizes 
   and not have any gaps between disks.  This program will not rename
   the actual disks.  This is because some disks need their correct
   disk name to install properly.
      The program is meant to catalogue file descriptions.  These 
   descriptions should be on the files first by using the 4dos describe
   command.  If you are not using 4dos or NDOS then it would not make
   any sense to use this program and it will not work properly either.    
      Because this program just appends the new data to a text file 
   database.txt, you can use any previous ascii database that you 
   already have.  Just rename your old text file to database.txt and 
   then edit the file disknumb.ers to start naming the next desired 
   disk numbers.  For example: if you want the next A disk to be 124 
   and the next B disk to be 172, just put the numbers 123 and 171 in 
   the file disknumb.ers.  
      This also makes you the master of your database file.  Therefore 
   you can alter your database any way you please with a text editor.  
   I did not check every fathomable situation in this program so back 
   up your database for I will not be responsible for any unlikely 
   problems that might occur. (It is a good idea anyway.)  
      Another feature of this program is it keeps track of your file 
   sizes and your free space left on each disk.  This will enable you 
   to search for free space on a disk, put a new file on it, and then 
   re-catalogue the disk.  The date is also included in the database.  
      This program will not log the sub-directories of the disks.  I 
   do not want this feature so it will not be implemented.  I prefer
   to just describe the sub-directories with the describe command.

      The batch files included are just to take advandage of more 4dos
   commands.  I did not implement these features for the simple reason
   that they already exist.  
  
   see_data.bat   will show you your database file

   findit.bat     will search for a text string that you enter
		  example:   findit.bat picture
		  this will search for every accurance of picture in
		  the database file

   frespace.bat   will sort the free space information in a file called
                  freespace.txt

   see_free.bat   will show you your frespace.txt file

   sortem.bat     will sort the files according to file name and put the
                  sorted data in a file called sorted.txt

   see_sort.bat   will show you your sorted.txt file
