Short:  A program to manage all your pictures
Author: m_hillen@informatik.uni-kl.de
Type:   disk/cdrom

A. Just a description how to configure the program:

   1. via ToolTypes:
	GIF    = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
	JPG    = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
	OTHER  = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
                 (%s will be replaced by the picture´s name)

   2. via ENV-variables
	MCDPics_G = the same as GIF    in tooltypes
	MCDPics_J = the same as JPG    in tooltypes
	MCDPics_O = the same as OTHER  in tooltypes

   Every ENV-variable will overwrite the value of a tooltype, so you can even
   configure the program if it is installed on a write-protected disk, i.e.
   a CD-ROM.


B. Format of the data files:

   1. All data files must be located in a subdirectory called 'CDS'.

   2. First you have to give the root of your path:

	ROOT
		CD0:
	END

      Note: Before CD0: you must enter a TAB, no space.

   3. Then you define the categories:

   	CATEGORIES
		xx
		yy
		...
	END

      Note: Before xx you must enter a TAB, no space.

   4. Then you must define the directory names belonging to every category:

      	CALLS
		xx-dir
		yy-dir
		...
	END

      Note: Before xx-dir you must enter a TAB, no space.

   5: Now you define the pictures for every category:

   	xx-dir
		pic1
		description.1
		pic2
		description.2
		...
	yy-dir
		picx
		description.x
		picy
		description.y
		picz
		description.z
		...

      Note: Before pic.. you must enter a TAB, no space.
            You need not enter END here.

   Just have a look at the files in CDS, and you will understand how it 
   works.


C. Description of 'MakeNewDatabase'

   This tool allows you to easily create a new database for the program.
   You  can scan directories which must be organized this way:

	1. All pictures must be placed in subdirectories.
	2. only one depth of subdirs is allowed, a subdir of a subdir
           won´t cause trouble, but no pics will be recognized.
	3. All files must be pictures, other files are added too.

   Anyway you can try out the script; it will create something useful, or
   you may throw it away and create your database by hand.


D. The program DTShow

   This program uses datatypes.library to view pictures. You'll need OS3.0
   and the monitor drivers 'SUPER72' and 'EURO72' and 'MULTISCAN' installed.
   Special Feature: Small pics will be shown in the middle of a screen!!!
