conditions set forth below. SitBack Technologies, Inc. reserves

The Locator is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using The Locator and continue to
use The Locator after a reasonable trial period, you must make
a registration payment of $19.95 to SitBack Technologies, Inc.

any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software
just like a book. An example is that this software may be used
by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.

copies of The Locator within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by
contacting SitBack Technologies, Inc..

first contact SitBack Technologies, Inc. for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering

still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date
with the latest version of *PROGRAM*.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of The Locator along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the The Locator
program.

machine: b) copy the program into any machine readable or
printed form for backup or purposes in support of your use of
the program on the single machine. Additional license agreements
and payments are required if the software is used on more than
one computer at a time.
2. Product Overview
THE LOCATOR
The Locator is the ideal companion and utility for any PC user who
uses removable storage as an integral part of their computing.
The use of removable media such as SyQuest drives, Bernoulli Boxes,
flopticals, opticals, floppies and the emerging PCMCIA cards is
growing.
Software programs used today occupy a massive amount of hard disk
space. And data files are becoming larger and larger.
Removable media use is growing as a result of the need for more and
more disk space for applications such as backup, archival, secondary
storage, additional primary storage and security. Keeping these
disks organized, locating files and determining which disk a file is
on is time consuming, difficult and cumbersome.
The Locator is very different from other File Finder utilities which
only allow you to search an "on-line" disk to locate files. With
The Locator the disk doesn't even have to be inserted.
The Locator allows you to catalog files on your removable disks
into a database and using the file finder, quickly and easily locate
and determine which disk a file is on. You no longer have to
tediously insert each disk and repeatedly change and display
directories. Now the location of these files is at your fingertips
and instantly accessible.
Catalog Utility
The Catalog Utility creates a database on your hard disk containing
information about each of the files which are cataloged. You can
be as selective as you want in determining which drives, files or
directories you want to catalog. You can catalog multiple drives
at once or multiple disks from the same drive. Each file recorded to
the database contains the following information.
1. Catalog Name (User defined)
2. Disk ID (User defined)
3. File Name
4. File name extension
5. Date/Time
6. All file attributes
7. File Size
