Short: Simple disk catalogger. WB2+ Author: gnome@martinac.demon.co.uk (John Marchant) Uploader: gnome@martinac.demon.co.uk (John Marchant) Type: disk/misc Gcat is a fairly simplistic disk catalogger, providing quick & easy building of sorted catalogs, either alphabetic or by disk name. Capable of catalogging up to 5,000 filenames per list, subject to memory availability. (This maximum would use about 500K of fast ram). While this catalogger does not provide certain features such as exclusion filtering, or avoidance of duplicate entries, it does provide a nice, easy utility. Vn45 is an upgrade in which the "sort by disk" (at last!) shows files on each disk alphabetically: a 2-key sort. (Version 44 finally (?) conquered the scroll bug which depended on screen size.) Features: ---------- Runs on 68000, 68030 and 68040 processors under WB2.0 and 3.0 Simplicity & convenience Runtime help Uses Req library file requester. Runs from CLI or WB. Menus or Hotkeys for most operations Hard copy print, or 'print to disk' Adjustable page length for hard copy Change sort mode during run Reminder of last disk included Deletions from catalog - single, or multiple by mouse-drag on screen Very fast scroller & sort Provision for editing catalog entries or inserting extra entries Option to start new catalog, or load & add to existing catalog Choice or change of input drive during runs Choice of Workbench or author's colours Full documentation Memory allocated as required (and as available).
