- Description
- -----------
-
- Advanced Cataloguer (A CAT) is an easy to use tool with
- explorer-like interface which allows you to catalog the drives:
- floppy disks, hard drives (including network ones), optical
- disks, CD-ROMs, ZIP disks and other media.
-
- With A CAT you are able to:
- - organize volumes, folders and files into keywords;
- - add comment and note to each file, folder and disk;
- - search for files/folders using file name (with
- wildcards) or your own comments, notes;
- - generate reports,
- - delete individual files and folders from the catalogs;
- - ... and much more.
- A CAT doesn't use any database engines and so very fast.
- The database generated by A CAT is very compact.
- A CAT has a user-friendly and easy-to-use interface.
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Important! If you've got A CAT not from our web page, but from
- the other source (magazine CD or some software library), please
- visit our home page - you'll probably find the later version;
-
- We recommend you to uninstall the previous version of A CAT (if
- you have one) from your computer before installing this one. You
- can do this via "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet. If
- you'll get the notification that the A CAT folder is not empty, be
- careful when removing it: it may contain the .acat files (the
- databases created by A CAT) you may wish to keep. Uninstall, by the
- way, will not remove the options you set in older version, so
- the new version, being installed, will have exactly the same
- settings as before.
-
- To install A CAT, just run the "Setup.exe" and follow the
- instructions. You'll need to select the target directory
- and the components to install.
-
- Note: the Advanced Cataloguer may not run correctly if the new
- version of common control library (comctl32.dll) is not
- installed; the program requires version 4.70 or later (version
- 4.72 is recommended). This new version is already available in
- Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 and Windows NT 4.0; you may also
- have it if you're using Internel Explorer 3.x or later. The
- installation program of the Advanced Cataloguer checks what
- version do you have, and it'll ask you to update this file if
- it is old. If it will happen, just run the "41Comupd.exe" to
- update your system; reboot the computer and start the setup
- program again. For your convenience, we're distributing
- "41comupd.exe" together with the Advanced Cataloguer setup
- files.
