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.

Vn44 is a debug upgrade.  Hopefully the problems with scrolling and file
selecting on different screen heights have been fixed.
