    How To Use Cataloguer

OVERVIEW

    Cataloguer is an application that creates a catalogue file detailing the
    contents of a directory.  The catalogue can be read by most common Browsers
    and allows the user to directly view common graphics files without the need
    to open them.

    The application will benefit web page authors who wish to easily Browse home
    made collections of web files.

    The catalogue file contains titles and description summaries of files as 
    well as offering a preview of the graphics.  Most Browsers mandate opening
    of files to view them and then only present the end user view - which is not
    the ideal web page developers view.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    Windows 95 or above.

INSTALLATION

    To install the application follow the following steps:    
    1.  Place the distribution file (cat233s.zip) in any temporary directory.
    2.  Unzip the zip file using PKUNZIP or Winzip.  This will unpack
        all necessary files.
    3.  Click on the Setup.exe file and follow the instructions on the screen.
        This will install the application and set up shortcuts on the Desktop
        and Start Menu.
    4.  It is suggested that the distribution file is archived for safekeeping.
        It may then be deleted to save disk space.

UNINSTALLATION

    To remove the application from the system simply select the Uninstall option
    from the Start Menu and follow the instructions on screen.  This will delete
    application files and shortcuts created during installation.

STATUS OF THE PROGRAM

    Cataloguer circulates widely as "shareware", giving you the opportunity to 
    try the program at no cost, and to share it with others hence the name.  If
    it doesn't meet your needs, you don't have to pay for it.  If you find the
    program valuable and continue to use it, you can "register" your copy for a
    modest fee.  In return, you get to download the latest version, licence and 
    support from the author.

    Shareware offers some unique advantages over retail software, because users
    interact directly with the author.  Obviously, costs are kept down because
    glossy packaging, advertising, and retail markups are eliminated.  But 
    shareware can also resist market trends and continue to provide useful kinds
    of products that the big corporations have abandoned.  And shareware authors
    can respond more directly to user requests and concerns than software 
    publishers who release an update only when it seems profitable.

    Shareware works when users give program authors useful feedback, and most of
    all, when users support authors by registering their programs.  This makes
    it possible for quality shareware to continue to develop and improve.
    Cataloguer would not have become what it is now without this kind of 
    support.  Please support shareware by registering any programs that you use.
