General Instructions
WARNING: When you initially open a database using the Library
Catalog, the program allocates approximately 70k disk space to be
used for writing the index. This ensures that you will always be
able to save your data even though the diskette becomes full.
Consequently, if you receive this program on a public domain
distribution diskette, there may be insufficient disk space for
the program to execute. In this event, copy the LibCat directory
to its own diskette before attempting to use the program.
The Library Catalog is designed to allow you to use the Dewey
Decimal system for maintaining an accurate catalog of the books
in your library.
The following information is stored in the database:
Classification
Title
Author
Location
Publisher
Year
Type
Subject #1
Subject #2
Remarks
Options are available to add new entries, or to delete, change or
view existing entries. Further, you may search the database for
the occurrence of any specified key word or phrase.
A general purpose query program is provided to allow you to print
spine labels or produce customized reports based on your
selection criteria and formatting specifications.
If you have a hard disk, the database will accommodate
approximately 10,000 entries. If you are using a floppy
diskette, the database will accommodate approximately 2,500
entries (that is if you do not have other files on the diskette).
If you require a larger database, you can sub-divide your library
by classification groups and use separate diskettes. The core
memory requirement is 512K.
Be sure to backup you database often!!
