PixCat Picture Cataloger
Thank you for selecting PixCat, another amazing product from MIDPA
Softworks. PixCat is used for printing a catalog of all pictures in a
NewsMaster(tm), PrintMaster(tm), or Print Shop(tm) graphics library.
To print the reference manual, you can "copy" it to your printer. For
example, if it is on your "A" disk, you could print it by entering:
copy a:pixcat.doc prn
PixCat will run on IBM PCs, ATs, PS/2s and true compatibles. PixCat
requires at least 256K of memory and MS DOS or PC DOS version 2.00 or
higher. PixCat may run under other configurations but, those have not
yet been tested.
If you are not sure whether PixCat will run on your machine, try it and
see what happens.
Files that should be on your disk include:
PIXCATPM.COM PixCat program for NewsMaster(tm) and PrintMaster(TM)
graphics libraries.
PIXCATPS.COM PixCat program for Print Shop (tm) graphics libraries.
PIXCAT.DOC The PixCat Reference Manual. Refer to this for detailed
reference. The PixCat screens are generally self
documenting so you may not need to refer to this.
PIXCAT.CFG The PixCat configuration file. This "remembers"
configuration information including screen colors and
printer type. If this file is not in your default
directory, PixCat will default to Black and White
screens using an Epson FX+ type printer. Once in
Pixcat, you can adjust these parameters then create or
update this file by using the "Save Configuration File"
option on the main menu.
PIXCAT.CFP PixCat printer configuration file.
*.CFP (optional) Additional printer configuration files.
INVOICE.DOC PixCat Invoice/Registration Form and Customer Survey.
READ.ME The documentation you are reading now.
Ensure that your default directory path contains the "*.CFP" file(s)
and, if it has already been created, the PIXCAT.CFG configuration file.
Enter "pixcatpm" or "pixcatps" at the Dos Prompt to invoke PixCat for
the appropriate type of graphics libraries. This will display the
PixCat primary selection menu.
Also, when configuring PixCat for your printer, please remember to
specify whatever your printer "thinks it is". For example, if you have
an OKIDATA ML Printer with the IBM "Plug & Play" option, then configure
PixCat for an IBM Graphics Printer. If your printer is not on the
printer configuration list, you might try the IBM or Epson settings;
many printers emulate either the IBM or Epson printers.
