- 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.
