Catalog.exe can reside on any drive and in any directory.
I hope that you enjoy the convience that Catalog.exe gives you and if you
feel generous please send this poor old boy a $1.00 so that I can get a
version of Shop Master registered.
Catalog.exe is guaranteed to do absolutely nothing and probably ruin your
whole day... If by some freak accident it does something useful then consider
yourself lucky to have it doing something.

------------------------------------------
Future enhancements to come (when I get time)
1) Range deletion of records. (e.g. records 3 to 15, 9 to end etc.)
Will default to single record.
2) Range sort. (e.g. records 12 to 35, 20 to end etc.)
Will default to all.
03-01-94 Fixed problem with cents... used to always have .00 for cents now
will accept cents. If none is entered will default to .00
10-17-93 Sort is no longer CASE sensitive a "C" is a "c".
Implimented a global search and delete upon exiting the program.
Triggers on ITEM and is NOT CASE sensitive. (Modem vs modem; second
one would be deleted).
Removed the Proper, Ucase, Lcase, normal toggle only from the Add
area, however, in the add area it will always Caps the first letter
of the string...Left it in the Modify... will default to normal
with every change. If you don't want the Toggle don't press "T".
Fixed Delete bug (was deleting next item...now deletes selected)
10-16-93 Fixed bug in DIM array... after adding blank line after each record,
in catalog.dat file (work file) then while reading it back into
memory the Dim size was to small.., if a record had all areas filled
in then the Dimension was 1 shy.
Also, redid the search path procedure.
1) Checks command line.
2) Checks environment variable.
3) Prompts user for acceptance.
10-15-93 Added Proper, Ucase, Lcase, Normal toggle Edit and Add area.
Added a blank line between items in the Catalog.dat file for easier
viewing with a text editor.
Checks command line for a filename - lets you use a filename other
than catalog.dat
Will then check current directory for the file (command line or
catalog.dat)
Will then check the environment path to find the file.
If it doesn't find the file (either the command line file or
catalog.dat it will then create the file with these priorities
1) If the environment has been SET it will create it in the Path
2) If the environment has NOT been SET it will create it in the
current directory.
Set Keyboard input to one keystroke except where more than one key
is needed...
10-08-93 Compiled a version Catalog2.exe which is functionally the same as
Catalog.exe with some menu selection changes and cosmetic changes.
Catalog2.exe combines the Modify and Delete feature onto one choice
and is selected with Edit. Once you select an Item to edit you are
prompted with Modify or Delete the Item.
10-07-93 Increased field length of ITEM and INFOFILE variable to 50 characters
10-03-93 Now reads SET environment variable instead of Autoexec.bat allowing
you to run CATALOG.EXE from any directory. If SET variable has not
been set then catalog.exe looks for catalog.dat in the current
directory.
09-27-93 Rewrote file structures.. now writes to a random work file instead
of individual sequential workfiles.. Gain speed on sort and delete
routines..
09-25-93 Added global reside feature for the catalog.dat file. Reads the
Autoexec.bat for brainex directory allowing catalog.exe to be in a
different directory than catalog.dat
09-25-93 Added caps feature to the ITEM= description area for both add and
modify.
Added a strip feature to strip "$" and extra periods "." from both
PRICE= and SHIPPING= areas. Added it to both the add and modify
areas.
09-22-93 Added a simple text editor for the INFOFILE editor and modify area.
09-21-93 Redo of screen to look more like Brainex screens
09-18-93 First release.
