Note to users of previous releases of CatFinder:  Catalogs created with releases of CatFinder prior to release 1.22 did not contain the free space amount.  These catalogs will be displayed with "n/a" in the Free space area of the main window.  To get the correct free space displayed for these catalogs you must re-catalog the disk.
