     OTHER FILES
     -----------

     The shareware edition contains product information in the
     VENDINFO.DIZ file, including a list of al the files in this
     release of Graphcat for DOS. If any are missing or if the sizes
     and dates do not match that list, the package has been tampered
     with. Any additional files are not part of Graphcat. Registered
     users receive a current and complete copy.

     For more information, see these files:

     REGISTER.TXT   Order form for registering Graphcat for DOS and
          other products.
     PRODUCTS.TXT   Product information. Includes other wonderful
          products from Jerry Stern and Science Translations,
          including GRAPHCAT, BOOKBILD, the Letterhead Kit, each
          available for both DOS and Windows, and the Wood Clips
          collections of clip art.

     The files with .WPG extensions are clip art. These Wood Clips
     sample graphics are provided as handy files for learning to use
     GRAPHCAT. When you register, your bonus disk will contain
     additional Wood Clips, and additional collections are available
     by subject.


     DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
     -----------------------

     Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
     before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
     using it, you are legally required to register. With
     registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
     using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

     Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
     and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
     exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
     programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
     of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
     and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
     distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
     and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
     specific group. For example, some authors require written
     permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
     Shareware.

     Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
     should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,

     whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
     fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
     And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
     has the ultimate money-back guarantee--if you don't use the
     product, you don't pay for it.

     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                  7

     INTRODUCTION & QUICK START
     ==========================

     QUICK START
     -----------

     1) Run Setup to install in WP51, print the manual, or read the
     WP61/60 install instructions. 

     Short version of the WP6x instructions: From inside WP6, press
     Macro (Alt-F10), type the current path to the install.wpm file,
     and 'install', and press Enter. 
     (Example: Macro (Alt-F10), a:\install, Enter).

     2) From inside WP, press Macro (Alt-F10), type 'GRAPHCAT' & press
     Enter. Follow the on-screen instructions.

     INTRODUCTION
     ------------

     GRAPHCAT/DOS 3.2 requires EITHER WordPerfect 6.1 or 6.0, any
     release date, or WordPerfect 5.1, interim release date 6/29/90 or
     later. GRAPHCAT is a shareware package of WordPerfect macros that
     read any disk or directory, and create a pictorial listing of all
     the graphics found. After running the INSTALL.WPM macro for WP6
     or SETUP.BAT file for WP51, run the main macro by pressing Macro
     (Alt-F10), and entering GRAPHCAT. Answer the prompts for the
     drive and directory, file extension, catalog title, number of
     columns, and graphic height. The default values for columns and
     height allow 28 graphics per page.


     NEW IN GRAPHCAT 3.2 for WP51
     ----------------------------

     Since version 3.1, horizontal cataloging (left-to-right) has been
     added.

     These changes have been made in the 5.1 version of Graphcat since
     version 3.00: Added 5.1+ support and full compatibility with the
     DOS Share command, and horizontal (left-to-right) catalogs.

     NEW IN GRAPHCAT 3.2 for WP6
     ---------------------------

     These enhancements have been made to Graphcat 3.2 since version
     3.00: Added CD-ROM support, horizontal (left-to-right) catalogs,
     directory searching, filename searching, partial catalogs,
     caption autosizing, and it is no longer necessary to avoid the
     "WP Documents Only" setting in file manager.

     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                  8

     To use the new directory searching feature, simply click on the
     `Search' button next to the first prompt on Graphcat's main
     screen, and use the arrow keys to move to the directory to
     search. Use 2) Other Drive to change to another drive letter,
     Home to go to the top of the listing, End to go to the bottom of
     the listing, F2 or N to search, and Enter or 1 to select a
     directory. (Mice do not work inside the search screens.)

     To use the new partial catalogs feature, enter your choices in
     the second dialog box, or simply press Enter, or click on OK to
     accept the default choices and begin building the catalog. The
     defaults will usually be to start with the first image found (the
     filename will be blank), and use page number 1 for the first page
     of the catalog. If Graphcat detects that your last catalog was
     not a complete catalog of the directory, it will suggest that you
     start with the next available file name, and a page number that
     will be the next after your previous catalog. You may press Enter
     or click on OK to accept these choices, or click on Search, and
     select a new starting file.

     Graphcat will remember your settings from one run of the macro to
     the next, within the same WordPerfect session. If Graphcat
     detects a partial catalog has been created, then you can simply
     press Enter at both dialog boxes to build another catalog of the
     same length and settings as the previous one.

     Hint: For partial catalogs, set the number of images equal to
     enough images to fill one or several pages. For example, if you
     use the default settings of 1" and 4 columns, use 28, 56, or 84
     images per catalog. Remember that Graphcat can build catalogs
     that are too big to print on some computers, so break up your
     catalogs so that you can print them easily.

     WORDPERFECT 6.1 OR 6.0 OR 5.1 OR 5.1+?
     --------------------------------------

     Throughout this manual, when the keystrokes and procedures are
     the same for both WordPerfect versions, the steps will be listed
     only once. However, when the steps are different, you will see
     this:
     WP51: Do these steps in WordPerfect 5.1 or 5.1+
     WP6 : Or these in WordPerfect 6.1 or 6.0.

     WordPerfect 6.x has greatly enhanced graphics and macro power, so
     there are a few features available in the WP 6 version of
     Graphcat that are not in the 5.1 edition. The WP6 version has
     these enhancements: 

     1) The sort order that you have set in the File Manager is
          the order that your files will be listed in Graphcat.

     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                  9

          You can choose to sort by filename, extension, size,
          date, and in ascending or descending order.
      
     2) A Graphics-on-Disk option can save workspace--check the
          radio button in the main Graphcat screen to turn it on.

     3) All the graphics may be converted to black and white, or
          adjusted in many other ways, by editing the Graphics
          style named "GRAPHCAT" or the Border style named "GCAT-
          BRD". (See the instructions on page 17.)

     4) New graphics formats added to WP60, initial release,
          include BMP and WMF. 5) Support for WordPerfect
          Graphics (WPG) includes version 1.0 (WP51), version 1e
          (Presentations 2.0/DOS), and 2.0 (WP6x shipping
          graphics).

     NOTE: WP60 does NO LONGER SUPPORTS DHP, GEM, IMG, MSP, PNTG, &
     PPIC. Keep a copy of the GRAPHCNV program from WP51 to convert
     these into WPG format.

     ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS DRIVERS: The formats DXF, MGX, and TGA
     require extra conversion drivers--call WP for order info.

     TIF FILES: TIF formats through revision 5.0 are supported, except
     those using LZW compression. Some version 6.0 files are
     supported, but not all--call WP support for details.

     Version 5.1+ of WordPerfect adds partial support for the new
     versions of the WPG files used by Presentations and WPWin60.
     However, when WP5.1+ reads in these images, gradient patterns
     will change to solid colors, and the color set of the image will
     change to a 16-color palette. These changes may result in odd
     color choices or substantial changes in how images print.


     WHAT IS GRAPHCAT?
     =================

     I've been collecting clip art for different projects. A small
     book, some newsletters, signs, and still more pictorial projects.
     I've drawn some, scanned some paper clip art, and bought some
     disks of pictures. I was beginning to lose track of which disk
     had what pictures. I needed an index, a printout of every graphic
     I had, so I could keep them handy for reference.

     The WPG files shipped with WordPerfect have their own printed
     picture indexes of art in the manual, but disks of PCX or TIF
     files from computer show rack vendors are escapees from that
     elusive paperless office we all keep hearing about. And clip art

     disks are uneven; some of them are full disks of excellent art on
     related topics, but others are totally unrelated pictures. Worse,
     because there are several flavors of each of the graphics file
     formats, some files will not be recognized by WordPerfect, and
     will read as bad. Overall, clip art disks are worthwhile, but a
     printed index would help sort the good files from the fuzzy junk.

     And the commercial clip art isn't much better. Oh, the graphics
     are better, but the printed indexes are printed too small, or on
     newsprint, or are all mixed in with the pictures of every other
     graphic collection sold by that company.

     Meanwhile, my co-workers on a newsletter project wanted to see
     all their clip art. I kept their graphics on a separate disk, but
     they wanted paper copies to refer to, so they could tell me, "Use
     that butterfly picture from page two." I began to create a sample
     document, with every graphic shown, and the file names, and the
     disk titles, and immediately found that there was too much work
     involved. I had two options: I could delegate the job, or write a
     macro to do the job. Since I couldn't find anyone who would spend
     three hours to create the index for each disk, I wrote GRAPHCAT.
     It's a lot faster than an assistant; it only takes from a few
     seconds to a few minutes to complete the job, depending on the
     speed of the computer and the size of the graphics files.

     GRAPHCAT makes this task easy, so easy that nearly no effort is
     needed to create a new catalog for each directory or floppy of
     pictures. If the macro is told the drive and path of the files,
     the computer should do the rest.

     With just that information, the WordPerfect macro reads the
     appropriate directory, identifies the graphics files, sets their
     sizes, locations, and options in a catalog, and leaves that
     catalog ready to print. Once the catalog is built, you may
     preview it, print it, and save it if you want.

     WP51: WordPerfect corporation has a habit of tinkering with their
     software. There are many different versions of WordPerfect 5.1
     for MS-DOS systems. Some of their interim releases are mostly bug
     fixes, and a few new drivers for new hardware; the new releases
     also include minor new features. The 6/29/90 release included a
     new macro command, {SYSTEM}entry, or in international editions,
     {SYSTEM}29. It can copy a file name off a List Files (F5) menu.
     GRAPHCAT uses that macro command, so users of earlier versions of
     WP MUST upgrade.

     To check your WP51 release date, press Help (F3) from the
     document screen of WP. The release date will be in the top right
     corner of the introductory help screen. In 6.0, select Help, WP
     Info. To upgrade to the newest release of WP 5.1+ or 6.0, call

     your local WordPerfect sales office. Instructions for installing
     the upgrade come with the disks, but be sure to check for, and
     read, a README file on the first disk of each type. That README
     file will list the features added to the program in that release.

          Interim Releases of WP: Writing software in a macro language
          is tricky, like controlling a rowboat by towing it from a
          distance of five parsecs. However, GRAPHCAT for DOS has been
          tested on all releases of WordPerfect 5.1, and the macro
          language in WP 6.0 is feature-oriented rather than the old
          keystroke-recorder, so all the macro features should work in
          all future releases. BUT, sometimes new "features" disable
          old features. If this happens, try turning "off" the new
          features if the macros don't seem to like the new release.
          When in doubt, write for support--there will be either a fix
          or a new release, as needed, to fix any problems caused by
          new features.

     INTERNATIONAL USERS:
     --------------------

     All of Graphcat's internal macro commands and menu choices have
     been set using international equivalents. GRAPHCAT should work
     properly with ANY WP language module, and the column height
     measurements will be accepted in your default measurement.
     However, I have not been able to test every possible
     international combination of software, interim release, and
     hardware. Please write if you find that GRAPHCAT fails in any way
     on your system. Also note: the interim release requirement of the
     6/29/90 release applies to US WordPerfect 5.1. Other language
     versions may require a newer release. If you aren't sure whether
     your release of WP has the needed added feature, just go ahead
     and run GRAPHCAT: the macro automatically tests for the needed
     new feature.

     WOOD CLIPS
     ----------

     The files with .WPG extensions are clip art. The patterns and
     styles vary greatly, and they are provided as handy files for
     testing GRAPHCAT. They are all wood cut engravings, known as Wood
     Clips. A collection of 1.4Mb of clip art is included with the
     registered edition of GRAPHCAT.

     INSTALLATION
     ============

     If you are reading these files on screen, you may print them with
     the SETUP program. (Don't print them from WordPerfect--they are
     formatted with page breaks for printing from DOS.)

     WP6: GRAPHCAT is installed by running the macro INSTALL.WPM.
     (This macro will not run in WP51--see the explanation of
     SETUP.EXE below for WP51.) The macro will display a box showing
     three directories: 

     1) The source drive for the GRAPHCAT files, initially a:.
          Edit this line as needed if your files are in another
          area, such as c:\download, for example. 

     2) The macro directory for WP6. This entry will generally be
          correct, unless you use more than one macro directory.

     3) The new directory to create for the GRAPHCAT sample
          graphics and instruction files, c:\graphcat initially.
          Edit this entry if you would like the text and graphics
          elsewhere.

     WP51: To install the GRAPHCAT macros to the WordPerfect 5.1 macro
     directory, run the SETUP.EXE program from the DOS prompt while
     logged to the GRAPHCAT distribution disk or directory.


     PROMPTS--THE INPUT SCREEN
     =========================

     Start GRAPHCAT from a blank document screen by pressing Macro
     (Alt-F10), typing GRAPHCAT, and pressing Enter. A second document
     screen must be blank as well, but not to worry: GRAPHCAT checks
     for workspace and will not let you do anything dangerous. A full-
     screen display will appear.

     DRIVE:\PATH
     -----------

     At the first prompt, enter the drive name and path for the
     subdirectory to be searched. You may omit the ending backslash if
     you like. GRAPHCAT is smart enough to accept the path name either
     way.

     WP51: Pressing Cancel (F1) at this prompt will stop the macro.
     Pressing Cancel at any of the following prompts will move the
     cursor back up to the prompt immediately above.


     All Rights Reserved             (C) Copyright 1991-95 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                 13

     WP6: Pressing Cancel (Esc) at any time, or clicking on Cancel,
     will end the macro. You may move between the prompts with Tab or
     the arrow keys. Click on OK when done. Click on the Search button
     to let WordPerfect help you find your graphics directory.

     EXTENSION OR FILE MASK
     ----------------------

     The second prompt asks for the file type. Any type of graphics
     file readable by WordPerfect may be entered here. If your files
     are kept sorted by what they are, such as DrawPerfect pictures
     together as WPG files, or scanned artwork as TIF files, they will
     be easier to keep track of, but if they are mixed together with
     lots of different types of files, that's o.k., too.

     WP51: You may enter up to three characters at this prompt--only
     the file extension may be chosen in GRAPHCAT for WP51. However,
     you can use standard DOS wild cards. These include the asterisk,
     meaning "any characters, any length," and the question mark,
     meaning "any character, just one." A request for files with the
     P* or P?? extension would cause GRAPHCAT to hunt for files whose
     extensions begin with P, including graphic files such as PCX and
     PIC images.

     WP6: The default selection for files to examine is *.WPG, and you
     may use standard DOS wild cards, as for WP51, to specify the
     extension. In 6.x, you may also use wild cards for the file name.
     For example, to look only at WPG files starting with W, enter
     W*.WPG at this prompt.

     WP6 AND WP51: It's very easy to just choose * or *.* at this
     prompt, and try to read every file. Don't do it! The wild cards
     are intended for cataloging mixed disks of graphics files. If you
     use the * choice for directories containing program files,
     GRAPHCAT will run far more slowly, because it must load and
     identify as bad every program file in the directory. For best and
     fastest results, use the real file extension of the graphics you
     are looking for, unless you really do intend * or *.* to mean ALL
     the files in the directory.

     CATALOG TITLE
     -------------

     The third prompt asks for a title, and the macro will place that
     title in a header on each page of the catalog. I recommend
     entering the name of the graphics collection or the name of the
     archived backup for that collection, such as "Business Graphics--
     BUSINESS.ZIP" in this area.



     All Rights Reserved             (C) Copyright 1991-95 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                 14

     If you do not enter a title, GRAPHCAT will make one up for you.
     The default title is "Clip Art in" plus the location where the
     graphics were found. (A typical title will be "Clip Art in
     c:\wp51\graphics\*.*".)

     COLUMNS
     -------

     Enter the number of columns to use for the catalog. If you do not
     want your catalog divided into columns, enter "1".

     HEIGHT
     ------

     Enter the height for the graphics. WordPerfect will calculate the
     width to keep the graphics true to scale, room permitting. If
     less than about twice the height of a graphic is available for
     the width, some graphics in horizontal format will be compressed
     to fit the column. Very wide graphics, like address labels or
     scanned signatures, may require fewer columns than typical
     images, for graphics of the same height. For four columns, a
     height of one inch allows ample room for most images, and 28
     images fit on one page. These combinations work well, and will
     show on screen: five columns with a height of 3/4", resulting in
     45 graphics per page, or 3 columns and 1.2" (18 per page), or two
     columns and 1.8" (8 per page).

     International Users of WP51: the default height set by GRAPHCAT
     is 1", but you may enter a graphic height as you normally would.
     If your default measurement is centimeters, you do not need to
     specifically tell WP and GRAPHCAT; the program and the macro will
     use your default measurement unit automatically.

     International Users of WP6: the default height set by GRAPHCAT is
     2.5cm if you have set WP to use centimeters, 25mm for
     millimeters, or 1" if you use inches. Enter measurement values as
     you do normally.

     WP6 ONLY: GRAPHIC ON DISK
     -------------------------

     WP6 ONLY: You may choose to have GRAPHCAT retrieve all the
     graphic images (default), or to let it read them off the disk as
     it needs them, known as "Graphics on disk" or external graphics.

     CAUTION: If you choose the "on disk" option, DO NOT SAVE the
     catalog. Generally, printing it later will not work. If
     cataloging a floppy disk of graphics, that disk must remain in
     the drive during printing. Although this option saves large
     amounts of temporary drive space, use it carefully. If

     All Rights Reserved             (C) Copyright 1991-95 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                 15

     WordPerfect 6.0 cannot find your graphics when it comes time to
     print, your catalog will contain only empty boxes and captions.

     WP6 ONLY: PARTIAL CATALOGS
     --------------------------

     The options box allows partial catalogs in WP6 only.

     1) The starting file name is the name of the first file in
          the directory that Graphcat should place in the
          catalog. Click the search button to look in a directory
          listing to find the file you want. If Graphcat notices
          that you did not go to the end of the last directory of
          graphics cataloged (within the same WP session), then
          it will automatically display the next filename here
          when the options box appears.

     2) First page number. Set this manually, or if creating
          several catalogs from a large directory of files, let
          Graphcat set it for you as the last page number created
          in the previous catalog, plus one.

     3) Number of images to catalog: This number will carry over
          from one catalog to the next within the same WP
          session. This number is fixed at 60 in the shareware
          version.

     When cataloging very large directories of graphics, and
     especially CD-ROMs of clip art, set the number of images to fill
     a set of pages that you can easily print, perhaps two or four at
     a time. After printing that catalog, run Graphcat again, and
     click on OK in both boxes to continue the catalog where you the
     previous set ended.

     LAYOUT OPTIONS
     --------------

     These options are available only in the registered edition of
     GRAPHCAT, and work similarly in WP51 and WP6x.

     CENTERING: By default, graphics are lined up on the left
          side of each column. Enter 'y' here in WP51, or check
          the box in WP6x, to center the graphics within the
          columns.

     ALTERNATING PAGE HEADERS: By default, GRAPHCAT places the
          page numbers at the top right corner of each page. If
          you are going to print the catalog on both sides of the
          paper, choose this option to let GRAPHCAT place the
          page numbers on the outside corners of each page, top

     All Rights Reserved             (C) Copyright 1991-95 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                 16

          right on odd-number pages, and top left on even-number
          pages.

     HORIZONTAL CATALOGS (NEW in 3.2): By default, GRAPHCAT
          builds catalogs arranged in order down each column,
          like a newspaper. Choose this option to position the
          graphics in order across the rows of the page, left-to-
          right.

          Note: If you plan to make extensive editing changes to the
          completed catalog, the default newspaper style can tolerate
          more changes. The left-to-right format can easily become
          disorganized and messy if you change page layout features.

     BORDER STYLE: GRAPHCAT adds a dashed border to each image by
          default. You may select a different border here from
          among those listed on-screen.

     FORCED MATCHING BOXES: Some users have told me that they
          want all these borders to be the same size, no matter
          what shape the graphic inside the box is. Not
          recommended--this will distort or shrink the graphics,
          just for a pretty page design: Back at the Columns
          setting, choose one more column than you would normally
          use for the image height, OR increase the image height
          by about 30%. For example, try 5 columns of 1" graphics
          or 4 columns of 1.3" graphics. Yuck. Nice square boxes.
          Your choice.


     WORKING ON THE GRAPHIC...
     -------------------------

     After the last entry has been made, GRAPHCAT will begin loading
     the graphics into the document. As each graphic is loaded, the
     macro announces the new graphic on screen. When the directory of
     graphics is large, this process will be considerably faster if
     there is additional memory available for WordPerfect to use, but
     hard disk space will be substituted automatically. If your system
     does not have additional memory, be sure that your default
     directory is set to a hard drive, rather than a floppy.

     If WordPerfect decides that a graphic in your sample directory is
     not a proper graphics file, GRAPHCAT will add that file name to a
     list of files that could not be loaded, and that list will be
     printed at the end of the catalog. You may delete that message
     after the catalog is prepared, or you may try to convert the bad
     graphic or edit it with a graphics program, resave it, and run
     GRAPHCAT again. Because not every version of every graphic format
     is supported by WordPerfect, I prefer to leave the file list in

     All Rights Reserved             (C) Copyright 1991-95 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T   V. 3.2 / DOS                                 17

     the catalog to identify a file that may be usable in other
     software, but not in WordPerfect. (Or the disk may contain non-
     graphic files, such as a README.1ST or FILE_ID.DIZ, and these
     files will be listed automatically at the end of the catalog.)

     When the catalog is finished, the screen display will be replaced
     by the new catalog page. You may, and should, preview the page
     before printing.

     GRAPHCAT may be stopped in mid-inventory by pressing the Cancel
     key just once; there may be a time lag of a few seconds before
     the macro stops. If you use the Cancel key to stop GRAPHCAT, the
     macro will leave behind a warning at the top of the document that
     the file is incomplete. The warning is just a comment box, and
     may be deleted if the partial catalog is useful.

     IN GENERAL
     ----------

     GRAPHCAT has error trapping routines built in to prevent garbage
     entries, and to turn off Reveal Codes if needed, and will not try
     to run if you start it without enough available open document
     space. If you wish to import the catalog or the file list into a
     document, run the macro first, and then add the other text or
     formatting into the catalog or file list.

     GRAPHCAT builds very large documents. Your system will run faster
     with 1) more memory, 2) better memory software, such as QEMM, and
     3) more available disk space. This was true with WP51, and with
     WP6, it is more important than ever.

     Since starting to catalog my clip art collection, I've found
     pictures I didn't know I had, and I've used some of those in new
     projects. Now that I don't have to hire extra help to create the
     listings, I can find the picture I want in no time, and, better
     yet, I can take the picture notebook with me to a co-worker, a
     client, or a conference, and I don't need to borrow someone
     else's computer and be at the mercy of someone else's operating
     system.

     EDITING ALL THE IMAGES AT ONCE
     ------------------------------

     You may edit the finished catalog just as you would any other
     document, but do turn on Reveal Codes (Alt-F3)--there are a lot
     of codes in the document.

     WP51: The borders may be changed by finding the [Fig Opt] code,
     deleting it, and adding a new code in the same location. You can

     also add a Justification:Center code at the beginning of the
     document.

     WP6: To edit the images all at once, press Graphics (Alt-F9), (1)
     Graphics, (4) Styles, choose the style named GRAPHCAT, choose (3)
     Edit, (3) Image Settings, and make any changes you like,
     including turning off color, increasing contrast, or rotating
     images. Don't change the borders from this screen. Exit out of
     the screen normally when done.

     To change borders, press Graphics (Alt-F9), (3) Borders, (4)
     Styles, choose the style named GCAT-BRD, choose (3) Edit, (2)
     Lines, and make any changes you like. Exit the screen normally
     when done.

     TROUBLE-SHOOTER'S GUIDE
     =======================

     1) GRAPHCAT won't read my graphics files. Why?

     GRAPHCAT supports all graphics formats supported by WordPerfect,
     and that list is quite large, and the new WP6 reads several new
     file formats. However, the list is misleading. According to the
     WP51 instruction manuals, TIF and PCX files are supported. That
     is partially true. Sixteen-color PCX files are supported, but
     two-color PCX files are not. (The number of colors refers to the
     format of the image, and not the visible colors in the image.)
     TIF files come in multiple flavors, and only a few of them are
     supported. To make matters worse, many scanner programs create
     non-standard files, unreadable by WordPerfect.

     Before claiming that GRAPHCAT can't read a good graphics file,
     test the files by manually retrieving the suspect files, and see
     if they work. If they work manually, but not with GRAPHCAT,
     contact Science Translations for assistance. As of this writing,
     no graphics files have been found that work with WP but not with
     GRAPHCAT.

     2) My scanner makes graphics in several formats. Some are showing
     up reversed as white-on-black. What do I do?

     This is not a GRAPHCAT problem, but... Most scanner programs can
     save in several formats. Not all of these formats are the same
     "flavors" as those that WordPerfect likes (see #1 above). Try
     scanning an image normally, and then saving it in EVERY format
     that your scanner software supports. Run the whole bunch through
     GRAPHCAT to load them, and see which ones work. Use those formats
     for all your scanning. In general, IMG files seem to work most
     often, followed by PCX. (IMG is supported by WP51, but not by
     WP6.) TIF is frequently a problem, because of the difference
     between the multitude of TIF "flavors."

     3) My images are squashed, and printed much too narrow.

     Run GRAPHCAT again for that set of images, using fewer columns,
     but the same image height. Or, if you are comfortable with
     editing in Reveal Codes, you can delete the Column Def code, and
     replace it with a new code for fewer columns.

     4) My file names wrap to the next line.

     WP51: On the completed catalog, change your initial base font.
     Press Format (Shift-F8), (3) Document, (3) Initial Base Font, and
     choose a smaller font.

     WP6: Graphcat automatically shrinks the point size of the
     document initial font to fit the column settings you have chosen,
     if needed. However, your default initial font must be scalable
     for Graphcat to automatically set its size.

     5) My document prints slowly.

     The graphics quality setting affects speed--higher quality takes
     longer. If a coarse image is acceptable, choose Draft graphics
     quality before printing. Additional computer memory will help, as
     will a disk cache program. Ask your local dealer for help. In
     WP6, using the partial catalog feature to break your catalog into
     pieces will help, especially on systems with limited memory and
     hard drive space.

     6) Only half of my catalog page prints.

     Some laser printers may not have enough internal memory to print
     a page of that complexity. On a laser printer, if the entire page
     does not print, try printing the page at a lower setting for
     graphics quality, or use fewer columns. Adding memory is a more
     expensive fix, but worthwhile.

     7) GRAPHCAT loads properly in WP51, and the big box appears on
     screen, but when I tell it what directory to catalog, An error
     message box appears. But I have checked--the files are good
     graphics files in the directory I've entered.

     This is an inconsistent error that occurs mostly with releases of
     WP from 6/90 to 12/90, although I have seen it more rarely with
     newer releases. Some of the settings in your configuration file
     are corrupt. To test this, start WP from the DOS prompt (No
     menus!) with the start up switch /x, like this:
     C:\WP51:> wp /x
     The x switch temporarily restores your copy of WP to the original
     defaults--it ignores all the choices you've made in Setup. Try
     running GRAPHCAT with this switch. If GRAPHCAT runs properly,
     then exit WP, restart WP normally, go into Setup and write down
     your options and settings. Next, exit WP, rename the file
     WP{WP}.SET to WPSET.OLD, and restart WP normally. Re-enter your
     options, and both WP and GRAPHCAT should run correctly.
     Alternative solution--upgrade to the newest release of WP; the
     problem does not seem to occur with any releases dated 9/91 or
     newer.

     8) GRAPHCAT runs perfectly, but I cannot print the result file.
     The error messages say I don't have enough memory.

     This is strictly a WP problem, and it is just what it says. Try
     running WP without any popup programs or TSR software, from the

     command line (No menus!). Consider investing in a good memory
     manager program to give WP more usable memory. Print each page
     separately, or when running GRAPHCAT, try using fewer
     columns--there will be more white space on each page, but less
     strain on limited system resources during printing.

     9) When I try to print a catalog of graphics found on a floppy
     disk, WP51 reads and writes to the floppy drive, and printing is
     extremely slow.

     WordPerfect 5.1 is placing its temporary print queue files on the
     floppy. There is an easy fix for this. Start WP with the command:
     WP /PF=(path)
     For example, try WP /pf-c:
     This command, which was added in the 3/90 release of WP, will
     divert the temporary printing files to the drive and path chosen.
     Printing speed should be improved considerably over allowing WP
     to use the floppy.

     10) I am using WP 5.1 dated 3/9/92 or newer, and whenever I run
     GRAPHCAT, the error box appears that says that the Sort option in
     List Files is turned off. Huh?

     The 3/9/92 interim release of WP 5.1 added a new feature--it can
     show directories in the list files screen in the order the files
     are on the disk. This is faster than the usual way, but less
     organized. Who wants a list of graphics that isn't in
     alphabetical order? To run GRAPHCAT, you must do what the box
     tells you: Enter Setup (Shift-F1), choose (3) Environment, (4)
     Document Management/Summary, (5) Sort List Files, and choose Yes,
     and then Exit (F7) to return to your document screen. GRAPHCAT
     will now run normally.

     11) The message "Position Hyphen" appears when I try to run
     GRAPHCAT on a directory of mixed graphics and text files. This
     only happens when some of the documents contain a "Hyphenation
     On" code, using the * choice on GRAPHCAT's extension line.

     The hyphenation message will occur only with hyphenated
     documents. You can avoid them by 1) Not using the * wild card
     extension, but instead choosing the extension of the graphics
     files, or 2) resetting the hyphenation options by pressing Setup
     (Shift-F1), (3)-Environment, (7) Prompt for Hyphenation, (1)
     Never, and Exit (F7)

     12) Sometimes when I use the * or *.* wild cards, GRAPHCAT loads
     a file as a graphic that isn't one. The document loads and prints
     normally, but the box is either empty or contains a random
     pattern.

     The * wild card choice was intended for reading disks containing
     mixed graphics in different formats, such as WPG and PCX and CGM
     graphics mixed together, NOT for attempting to load every program
     file on your hard drive in the attempt to see if any of them are
     graphics. GRAPHCAT will correctly identify nearly every file as a
     graphic or not a graphic, but there are exceptions. For example,
     try loading the WordPerfect file LIBRARY.STY as a graphic--the
     resulting empty graphics box is harmless, but it shouldn't
     happen, and since it does not cause any error messages, GRAPHCAT
     can't eliminate it.

     To avoid these problems, when cataloging a directory of mixed
     graphics and program files, use the appropriate extension, such
     as PCX or WPG on the second line of GRAPHCAT's menu, and save the
     wild card use for disks holding only graphics.

     13) Some of my images display or print in WP6 with very pale dots
     in the background.

     This happens occasionally with bitmapped images. To fix it from
     the finished catalog, press Graphics (Alt-F9), (1) Graphics, (4)
     Styles, page down to the style named GRAPHCAT, and choose (3)
     Edit, (3) Image Settings, (2) Color Adjust, (2) Contrast, type
     1.0, and press (Enter). Press Exit (F7) enough times to return to
     your document--all the images will be fixed at once.

     14) I'm running WP5.1+, and my WP.EXE file has a time setting of
     5:11am. Graphcat says my software is defective. OR: With 5.1+,
     5:11am edition and QEMM, when I first start Graphcat, QEMM
     announces an Exception 13 error.

     The 5:11am release was shipped with a defective {SYSTEM}entry
     command. Depending on your memory management software, macros
     that use that command will fail, and possibly crash WP as well.
     Notify WP that you have a 5:11am release with a defective
     {SYSTEM}entry command, and that your macros need that command to
     work. They should ship you the 5:11pm release, or newer, at no
     charge. WP's memo ID for this defect is 37979M.

     15) Graphcat goes into an infinite loop EVERY time I run it,
     counting bad graphics that don't exist forever, or until I hit
     the Cancel key.

     Go into WP's Setup (Shift-F1) screen, choose Location of Files,
     and check all the entries--at least one of your entries is to a
     directory that doesn't exist, probably the entry for Graphic
     files.
