                                  EZ-CATLOG                                     
                                                                                
EZ-CATLOG is a filing and cataloging program. It can be utilized to             
categorize bible verses, recipes, library books, music libraries, etc. The      
possibilies are endless. Use it as a "where is it" database to assign keywords  
instead of categories, to help you remember where things are stored.  The pro-  
gram utilizes 2 primary files: a database file and a category file. You are     
prompted each time the program is invoked for the names of the 2 files. If it   
can't find existing files, in the current directory, to match the ones you      
enter, it will create new ones for you. This means that you can have as many    
different databases as you need. Both files can be updated or browsed at the    
same time. You have been provided a catalog file(EZQUOTE2.DBD) and a category   
file(EZQUOTE.CAT).  EZQUOTE2.DBD is a condensed version of EZQUOTE.DBD which    
is a collection of philosophical and inspirational quotations copyrighted as    
"WORDS TO LIVE BY." EZCATLOG was written especially to catalog this collec-     
tion.  This file containing over 150 quotations is available for an additional  
fee when you register your copy of EZCATLOG.                                    
                                                                                
Two report options are provided: Record sequence -sequenced by record ID and    
Category sequence - sequenced by category. Selections may be made by category   
using "and" or "or" logic. Option to display to the screen or printer.          
                                                                                
The categories section of database maintenance lists and updates the            
categories assigned to this database record. F4 deletes all categories after    
current curser position. F5 pulls up category maintenance and allows you to     
add new categories or page through the categories available in alphabetical     
sequence.                                                                       
                                                                                
The record contents portion of the database maintenance is a mini-editor.       
Curser movement up, down, left and right is avail-able but INS and DEL is not.  
So that you don't split a word between two lines, word wrap is in effect. F3    
causes everything in record contents to be saved regardless of curser           
position. F4 does the same as F3 except it deletes everything following the     
current curser position. ESC will get you out of any place in the program,      
returning you to a previous prompt.

ID number. Enter "C" and you will get a listing by category description. You

is entered, the program will force the report to go to the printer because of   
the potential volume.
