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).

Vn43 is a debug upgrade and has many improvements suggested by users.
Uses Req library file requester. Runs from CLI or WB.

Features: 
----------
 Simplicity & convenience
 Runtime help
 Menus or Hotkeys for most operations
 Start new, or continue existing catalogs
 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).
 Tested with Enforcer (no 'hits').

While this catalogger does not provide certain features such as exclusion
filtering, or avoidance of duplicate entries, it does provide a nice, easy
utility.
