- CatchDisk is a simple commodity: its purpouse is to detect when a new disk
- is inserted in any drive and check if it is properly formatted: if not,
- CatchDisk executes the Format program with the drive, in which the disk was
- inserted, already selected. The user has only to choose the format options and
- start or abort the operation.
- CatchDisk supports the localization feature of AmigaOS 2.1 and later, and can
- recognize non-Amiga disk formats (such as MS-DOS) if you have the proper
- dos-driver (e.g. PCx: etc.).
- Version 1.10 fixes some bug and has the ability to periodically rescan the
- selected devices to detect bad disks,for example newly FMS-mounted disks, which
- don't send the 'diskinserted' message.

- IMPORTANT
- ---------
- To use CatchDisk you must have the WBStart-Handler in you L: directory. You
- need VERSION 1.4 OR LATER of the handler. WBStart-Handler is a freely
- distributable software by Stefan Becker: you can find it as 'WBStart1_4.lha'
- in many FTP sites or from PD distributors. Please note that the version
- required is at least v1.4, because previous versions had problems when dealing
- with null locks.
