DBS-KAT (R) --The Easy, Practical, Super Capacity File Librarian Pkg.
Version 2.20, by Applied Foresight Inc. (AFI)
(C) Copyright 1986 R.H. Martin. All Rights Reserved.
DBS-KAT SOFTWARE PROBLEM REPORT
DBS-KAT was written on an IBM AT clone under MS-DOS 3.1. It has been
tested under this MS-DOS 3.1 and IBM PC-DOS 3.3 and found to work. DBS-
KAT as of version 2.20 does not work under DOS 2.X. AFI does not have
the equipment available to code or test DBS-KAT under DOS 2.X. For this
reason, bugs which only appear under DOS 2.X (but not DOS 3.X) can't be
fixed.
To report bugs or suggest improvements, fill out this form & mail it to
AFI. A copy of this form is made by typing: KAT -P & pressing ENTER.
Don't bother to call Raima Corp. for any problems (even database error
messages). AFI is your sole source for DBS-KAT problems.
If you ask AFI for help & you haven't purchased anything direct from AFI,
unless your problem form is accompanied with a check or credit card
information for either the base DBS-KAT program or to get registered, you
will get your help & be invoiced for the current base product of DBS-KAT
plus an invoice-handling charge. The invoice-handling charge of $2.50
doesn't apply against prepaid orders.
Besides sending this form, please send a copy of the following print-
outs. With the computer prompt displaying the drive letter on which
you startup your computer:
1. Type: ECHO 1 > PRN & press ENTER.
Type: SET > PRN & press ENTER.
2. Type: ECHO 2 > PRN & press ENTER.
Type: TYPE \AUTOEXEC.BAT > PRN & press ENTER.
3. Type: ECHO 3 > PRN & press ENTER.

4. Type: ECHO 4 > PRN & press ENTER.
Type: VER > PRN & press ENTER.
5. Type: ECHO 5 > PRN & press ENTER.
Type: CHKDSK & press ENTER.
If you are asked any questions by this program, answer "N" & rerun
the program, by typing: CHKDSK /F & pressing ENTER. Answer "N"
the second time too.
When the CHKDSK program can run without asking you questions,
type: CHKDSK > PRN & press ENTER.
6. Change directory so that you are in the directory where you have
installed the DBS-KAT database files.
Type: ECHO 6 > PRN & press ENTER.
Type: DIR KATDB*.* > PRN & press ENTER.
7. Insert your original DBS-KAT software disk representing the
current version of DBS-KAT software that you are using.
Type: ECHO 7 > PRN & press ENTER.

Write on this printout where you got this software diskette. If
it's from a friend, write how he got the diskette if you know.
