USERS MANUAL --------------------------------- FILECAT.COM --------------------------------- A File Cataloging Utility written by Kenn Flee of Jamestown Software 2508 Valley Forge Drive Madison WI 53719 Copyright (C)1986 by Jamestown Software Version 2.2 May 8, 1986 Jamestown Software will not be liable for any damages, including any lost profits, lost savings or other incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use of or inability to use FILECAT.COM, even if Jamestown Software has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party. FILECAT.COM is hereby released into the PUBLIC DOMAIN for non-commercial use by individuals and non-profit groups. Page 1 INTRODUCTION: This program was written in response to a request by our Turbo Pascal SIG Librarian. We had a problem with our library disks that many other users have experienced... too many files on too many disks. What is on each disk? How can we find a particular file? How are the various files related? Kind of a mess... so we decided to try to solve the problem before it really got out of hand. Of course, the problem of too many files scattered all over the place is a familiar one to hard disk users and active programmer types. I certainly have little files on a bunch of floppies and in various subdirectories all over my hard disk. Now, I'm not by nature a particularly disorganized person, but I AM active on the local BBS's (downloading everything that looks interesting) and have lots of little Pascal files that I'm sure I wrote for SOME reason. Anyway, there appears to be a need for an easy-to-use file cataloging utility for use by User Group Librarians, BBS Sysops, AND everyday users. FILECAT is in response to that need. FEATURES: * Written in Turbo Pascal with TurboPower Turbo Extender. * ISAM database with B+Tree structure. * For floppy or harddisk systems. * Menu-driven for ease of use. * Allows entry of KEYWORDS with keyword search and sort. * Library of 700+ common keywords may be accessed. * Allows entry of Main File designation and Associated File identification. Searches, sorts and prints listings of "families" of files. * Allows creation of a "transfer file" to be included on user group library disks. Senses existence of such a file and allows automatic transfer of the data into the master database file. * Allows file descriptions of over 300 characters. * Automatically includes harddisk path and floppy volume name location identifiers. * Epson printer setup utility. * Add, search, sort, edit and delete functions with duplicate filenames identified, but allowed. * Database file size limited only by floppy disk/hard disk size, or 32,760 records, whichever comes first. * Released into the public domain for (hopefully) a standard to be included on all user group library disks. Page 2 FILES INCLUDED: Just five: FILECAT.COM The program file. FINC01.CHN * Required program file * FINC02.CHN * Required program file * FILECAT.KWD A library of Keywords. FILECAT.DOC This users manual. The program will create additional files as needed: FILECAT.DAT The database main data file. FILECAT.IXN The database main index file. TRANSFER.DAT Either a temporary data file (when on the disk where FILECAT.COM resides) or a transfer file (when on the source disk). TRANSFER.DXT A transfer file that has been read into the main database and renamed by FILECAT from TRANSFER.DAT. TRANSFER.IXN A temporary index file. INSTALLATION: Floppy Disk Users: Put original disk in drive A. Put blank, formatted disk in drive B. Copy FILECAT.COM (Copy A:FILECAT.COM B:). Copy Chain files (Copy A:*.CHN B:). Copy FILECAT.KWD (Copy A:FILECAT.KWD B:). Hard Disk Users: Make a subdirectory (MD \FILECAT). Change subdirectories (CD \FILECAT). Place original disk in drive A. Copy FILECAT files into subdirectory. (Copy A:\FILECAT.*). -3 files- (Copy A:\*.CHN). -2 files- FILECAT will sense the existence of both CGA color cards and monochrome cards and adjust itself accordingly. On color cards driving some composite video monochrome monitors, you may wish to press '8' in the Main Menu to toggle between color mode and black and white mode. RUNNING FILECAT: Floppy Disk Users: Be sure you see the "A>" prompt! If you don't, type A: and return. Place your FILECAT program disk in drive A. Place your source disk (the one you are going to get file information from) in drive B. Type "FILECAT" and return. Page 3 RUNNING FILECAT (continued): Hard Disk Users: IMPORTANT: ALWAYS run FILECAT from the subdirectory in which it resides! (If you don't, the program will get mad at you and keep asking you to put the data disk in.) Sooo... Change into the FILECAT subdirectory (CD \FILECAT). Place either a formatted disk or your source disk in drive A: (If you don't, FILECAT will complain a little bit, but no real damage will be done... it will just be a bit annoying.) Type "FILECAT" and return. The first time you run FILECAT (or if your active disk doesn't have a FILECAT.DAT data file on it) you will be given the following options: <Y> to create new files <ESC> to quit and return to DOS <C> to continue Press "Y" to create and initialize new FILECAT.DAT and FILECAT.IXN files on your current disk or directory. Press "ESC" to quit and return to DOS without creating new files on your current disk or directory. Press "C" to continue. Useful for maintaining separate data files on several floppies... Remove the program disk (if on a floppy) and insert the desired data disk. NOTE: Initialized data disks may ONLY be swapped when the main menu is displayed. Removing your data disk at ANY other time will guarantee PERMANENTLY trashing your data disk! THE "TRANSFER FILE FOUND..." MESSAGE: If your source disk (maybe a User Group Library disk) has had a Transfer File stored on it, FILECAT will display the following message: "TRANSFER file found on Source Directory... Add to database?" Press "Y" to add the information contained in the transfer file to your database, or "N" if not. I suggest you answer "Y", 'cause the program is just going to keep asking you at regular intervals if you want to do it, so you may as well get it over with. When you answer "Y", FILECAT will read the information from the source file, change the "TRANSFER.DAT" name to "TRANSFER.DXT", and stop bothering you. Page 4 THE "PLACE THE FILECAT DATA DISK IN..." MESSAGE: If you get this message, you either ran FILECAT with a DOS Prompt different from the disk or subdirectory that FILECAT resides in, or (floppy disk users) you removed the FILECAT disk or opened the disk drive door. Reread the "RUNNING FILECAT" instructions above. THE MAIN MENU: After you get past the previous two messages, you will see the Main Menu. At the top of the screen are the FILECAT drive/directory, the source drive/directory, the diskette volume name (if source disk is on drive A: or B:) and the DOS version you are running. (If you aren't using DOS2.x or greater you never got this far... the program kicked you out!) At the bottom left is the number of bytes left on your FILECAT drive/directory. If there are less than 2000 bytes left, you will get a flashing warning. There are 9 choices listed in the main menu as follows: 1 -- CHANGE Source Drive/Directory 2 -- ENTER New File Data 3 -- SEARCH Database for KEYWORD MATCH 4 -- BROWSE/EDIT DataBase Records 5 -- REPORTS and UTILITIES 6 -- LABEL Source Diskette 7 -- Set Epson Print Codes 8 -- Change Color 9 -- End To select, press the number of the choice desired. Each choice is described below. CHANGE SOURCE DRIVE/DIRECTORY (Main Menu Choice 1): Identify your source drive (floppies) or directory path (hard disk). FILECAT will attempt to change to the identified source drive/directory. If there is a problem FILECAT will revert to the previous identified source drive/directory. HINT: If you're not entering new data, either put a formatted disk in the source drive or change the source drive to be the same as the FILECAT drive. Page 5 ENTER NEW FILE DATA (Main Menu Choice 2): Before selecting Choice 2, be sure you have the proper source drive/directory identified (Choice 1), and your desired disk in that drive. If your source drive is A: or B: FILECAT will attempt to read the volume name of the diskette. If there is no volume name, you will be required to enter a new volume name identifier. The new label will be written on the disk. The data entry screen will be displayed. In a window at the right is a list of files on your source disk. You now have two options. You may press the F1 function key to enter ALL files into the database or, using the cursor keys, you may select the individual file you wish to add to the database (press return). If the file has already been entered, the old file data will be displayed and you have the option to delete the old entry or add the selected file. If the selected file is a new file, the window will disappear and the file information displayed at the top of the screen. If you elect to add ALL files, you will be asked if you wish to ignore duplicate names. Press "Y" to ignore duplicates and add only files with names not already in the database. (NOTE this checks names only, not size and date!). Press "N" to add all files. After the files have been added you will be returned to the main menu. (You may then add keywords and descriptions by pressing "4" and editing the desired entries). If you selected an individual file you may now add the following information: Stand Alone? This question is one that our Turbo SIG group found useful and if you understand its intent, perhaps you can use it your situation. (If you don't understand this question, or have no need for it, just press "Y"). The problem with Turbo Pascal programs (and others, actually) is that large applications tend to have a bunch of "include", "overlay", and "chain" files associated with them. In other words, you need more than just the one source file to make the program go. So that we don't break up these "families" of associated files, this question allows you to define a group of associated files that help keep everything connected together. Anyway, if this file does not require other files to work, answer this question "Y", but if other files ARE required, answer "N" (No, this file does NOT stand alone, but requires other files to work). Page 6 ENTER NEW FILE DATA (continued): ------------------------------------------------------------ If you answered "N" to the last question, you will be asked: Main File Name: Enter the file name (not extension) of the Main or Primary File associated with this file. If this file IS the primary file, REPEAT the filename of this file. Extension: The extension of the file entered in main file name above. ------------------------------------------------------------ Keywords: Enter some keywords for this file. Try to establish some consistency with your keywords... for instance GRAPHICS for all graphic files or UTILITY for all utility files (See NOTE below). Maybe an author name for some favorite downloaded programs. You may enter one line of keywords, separating each keyword with a space. Later you can search for a keyword and quickly retrieve files of similiar types. Compuserve users are familiar with this type of keyword search, and once you see the power in the use of keywords, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. Since you have a full line to work with, you may as well fill it up. NOTE: By pressing the F1 function key, a library of over 700 common keywords will be displayed. Use the cursor keys until your choice is highlighted, then press Enter. Your selection will be added to those already on the Keyword line. Any NEW keywords you enter will automatically be added to the library. HINT: If you wish to save disk space so more file information may be stored, do NOT copy the FILECAT.KWD file from your distribution disk. FILECAT will then create a Keyword library of ONLY those keywords YOU enter. Description: Enter up to four lines of descriptive information about this file. The space is allocated, so you use it all if you can. Page 7 ENTER NEW FILE DATA (continued): Experiment a little with the cursor keys. HOME and END will move you to the beginning or end of the line. RIGHT and LEFT move right and left. UP and DOWN go to the previous or next field. Insert mode (not overwrite) is always active, so delete, then insert. BACKSPACE deletes the character to the left of the cursor, DELETE deletes the character under the cursor. The INSERT key inserts a space, moving the rest of the line to the right. If FCD (First Char. Delete) is active and you type a character in the first position when there is already text in the field, the field will be blanked. (The use of the CURSOR RIGHT key toggles this feature OFF for one field when FCD is active. <F8> toggles FCD on/off. "FCD" is displayed in lower right of screen when FCD is active.) When you are done, press the F10 function key. You will first be asked if you wish to add this record to the database ("Y" to add it, "N" to throw it away), then you will be asked if you wish another entry from this disk/directory ("Y" to do another, "N" to return to the Main Menu. SEARCH DATABASE FOR KEYWORD MATCH (Choice 3 in Main Menu): You will be asked to enter the KEYWORD you wish to search for. Then you will be given the choice of searching for EXACT matches (full words ONLY that match your search keyword), or PARTIAL matches (words that have your search keyword in them). As an example, if your search keyword was "DIR", Partial matches would find "DIR", "DIRECTORY", "SUBDIRECTORY" and "ROOTDIRECTORY" but Exact match wouldn't find anything but "DIR". Next you will asked if you wish to print a Catalog Listing. Press "Y" to PRINT a listing or "N" to display matches on the screen. Printed listings will show the file size and timestamp information plus description, sorted into alpha order by filename. If you selected "N" to display matches and a match is found, it will be displayed and you may press: N or C -- Continue the search D -- Delete the record E -- Edit the record * -- Print the record Q -- Quit and return to Main Menu If you continue to search to the end of the file, you will get the number of matches found. Page 8 BROWSE/EDIT DATABASE RECORDS (Choice 4 in Main Menu): You will be asked to identify the file name to search for. If you want to start at the beginning of the file, just press return. (The files will always be displayed -- in all functions -- in alphabetical order by filename). When any file is displayed, you may press: N -- Display next record P -- Display previous record S -- Enter new search filename D -- Delete the record E -- Edit the record * -- Print the record Q -- Quit and return to Main Menu NOTE: In the case of APPARENT duplicate entries, check the record number displayed in the right corner of the screen BEFORE deleting the record. They may look the same, but they are actually different. When a Main File is displayed (File Name and Main File Name are identical) you may press "A" to locate and display all Associated Files (those with the same Main File Name) in alphabetical order. To return to normal browsing after viewing associated files, press "S" and enter a new file name to search for. REPORTS AND UTILITIES (Choice 5 in Main Menu): Use to print predefined reports, or to create/close a transfer file. (See page 9 following for complete description). LABEL SOURCE DISKETTE (Choice 6 in Main Menu): This is a new feature in version 2.2, added (reluctantly) in response to numerous requests. By selecting this option you may name (or rename) the volume label of the source disk. (Diskettes only). I strongly recommend you CHANGE the name of a diskette only BEFORE adding the files to your database. If you change the name after some files have been added, then those records may no longer have the proper location identifier! NOTE: FILECAT will not allow you to add files from an unlabeled disk, but the program will will ask for the volume name all by itself, at the proper time... you do NOT have to use this option unless you need to change the name of an already labeled diskette. Page 9 SET EPSON PRINT CODES (Choice 7 in Main Menu): Use to set print size and left margin on Epson FX/MX/RX and code-compatible printers. CHANGE COLOR (Choice 8 in Main Menu): Each time you press "8" in the Main Menu (if you have a color display adapter) the screen color will toggle between color and black/white mode. This feature was added to try to resolve some display difficulties with monochrome monitors hooked to color cards. If you have display problems, try this to see if it helps. END (Choice 9 in Main Menu): To end FILECAT and return to DOS. If you are working on a Transfer File, and have not yet moved it to the source directory, you will be given another chance to save the file before FILECAT returns to DOS. If you exit without moving the Transfer File, it will be open the next time you run FILECAT. ------------------------------------------------------------ REPORTS AND UTILITIES MENU: You may select any of 5 different printed reports from the Reports and Utilities Menu as described below. You should set your printer type style and left margin before selecting your first printed listing. DON'T set an automatic page length, because FILECAT automatically spaces over the perf (assuming a 11" page length). NOTE: (*) = paper eater! LISTING OF KEYWORDS AND RELATED FILES (*) (Choice 1 in Reports Menu)): This choice will scan your database for all keywords actually used, then print the keywords in alphabetical order, with all files related to each keyword listed underneath. NOTE: If you have an unusually large database, with a lot of different keywords used, there is the danger of a program crash do to the limitations of the Turbo Database Toolbox sort utility. ALPHABETICAL LIST OF ALL FILES (*) (Choice 2 in Reports Menu): This choice will print all the information entered for each record in your database, in alphabetical order by file name. Page 10 REPORTS AND UTILITIES MENU (continued): LISTING OF DISKS AND RELATED FILES (Choice 3 in Reports Menu): This will sort the database into Disk/Directory alphabetical order, then print a listing of all Disks and/or Directory/SubDirectories, with all files in each Disk/Directory listed under the Disk/Directory name. LISTING OF MAIN/ASSOCIATED FILES (Choice 4 in Reports Menu): This will scan the database for all entries identified as NOT stand alone, then read the Main File Name for those files. The located entries will be sorted into alphabetical order and printed with all related files listed under each main file name. FILES LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY EXTENSION (Choice 5 in Reports Menu): This choice will print all file names, sorted and grouped by extension. TRANSFER FILES: A Transfer File may be created and stored on a diskette to be read into another FILECAT database at a later time by someone else. Each time the source diskette is changed, FILECAT checks for the existence of a Transfer File and, if found, allows the data to automatically be transfered into the current FILECAT database. This feature is intended primarily for user group librarians for the convenience of those who acquire the library disks and wish to include the file descriptions in their master FILECAT database. To create a Transfer File, select choice 6 in the Reports Menu (CREATE and WRITE to Transfer File). You will be returned to Main Menu. A flashing message in the lower right corner will remind you that you are now working on a transfer file. What has happened is that the normal FILECAT.DAT and FILECAT.IXN data and index files have been replaced by temporary TRANSFER.DAT and TRANSFER.IXN data and index files. Page 11 TRANSFER FILES (continued): Everything will work as before. Insert your library diskette and build a database for all files. When complete, return to the Reports and Utilities Menu. Note that choice 6 now reads "MOVE Transfer File to Current Source Drive". If you are ready to move the file, select choice 6. The program will confirm that you really do wish to move the file and if so, copy it to the source disk. When complete, you will be given the opportunity to ADD the data to your master database. NOTE: The TRANSFER.DAT file is in the same format as a normal FILECAT.DAT data file, but without an index file and with deleted record space removed. Alternately you could simply create a normal FILECAT.DAT data file, then copy it (without the FILECAT.IXN index file) to the library disk, renaming it to TRANSFER.DAT. There is the possibility that a file created in this manner would be larger (because of deleted records that were not reused) and might not actually be the data file you intended. If you attempt to exit FILECAT with an open Transfer File, you will be warned and given another chance to move it to your source disk. If you choose NOT to move the file now, the next time you run FILECAT the Transfer File will still be open, and the flashing "Working on a Transfer File" displayed at the bottom of your screen. You MUST eventually move the file in order to return to your normal FILECAT data file. HINT: To create a Transfer File on a library disk, first create it ("5" in main menu, followed by "6" in utilities menu). Then "2" (Enter File Data), followed by "F1" (Enter ALL files). Now select "4" (Browse), edit in Keywords and Descriptions for active files and delete unwanted files. Finally, move the Transfer File to the source disk as described above. Note that you may leave the program to take a break and when you rerun FILECAT, the Transfer File will still be active. Page 12 REPORTS AND UTILITIES MENU (continued): TEST SOURCE DISKETTE FOR DUPLICATES TEST FILECAT DATABASE FOR DUPLICATES (Choices 7 & 8 in Reports Menu): These two utilities were added in reponse to a request from a large west coast users group. The problem is that when the group receives a new library disk, it's a major job to determine which, if any, programs on the new disk are actually new and are not already in the library. These utilities help solve that problem by reading the source disk or subdirectory files, then comparing them to those already in the FILECAT database for matches as follows: 1. Name only. (Finds duplicate names... may be a true duplicate or different versions of the same program) 2. Name, Size and Date. (Probably a true duplicate) 3. Size and Date. (Possible duplicate file with different name) In addition, you may check the FILECAT database itself for duplicate names. In both cases, a list of the possible duplicates is printed. TEST SOURCE DISKETTE FOR DUPLICATES (Choice 7 in Reports Menu): Your source diskette (or subdirectory) file information will be read and then compared to the files already in the FILECAT database. If any matches are found, a descriptive summary will be printed on your printer. The first pass only checks for matching names and names+size+date. After the test is complete, the number of matches will be displayed on your screen with the message: "Do you wish to check for possible Date/Size duplicates?" Press <N> to return to main menu or <Y> to continue. If you select <Y> a temporary index will be built to perform the date-size test. NOTE: this index will be built only once for each session, since with a large database (1000+ records) it can take a few minutes to complete. After the temporary index is complete, the second test will be made with a descriptive summary printed. Page 13 REPORTS AND UTILITIES MENU (continued): TEST FILECAT DATABASE FOR DUPLICATES (Choice 8 in Reports Menu): The FILECAT database itself will be checked for matching names only. If any matches are found, a descriptive summary will be printed on your printer. After the test is complete, the number of matches will be displayed on your screen. (There is no test for size-date, since by definition there is always at least one match with files already in the database -- the file itself!) PRINT DISK CATALOG / COMPARE ACTIVE FILES (Choice "C" in Reports Menu): You will be asked if you wish to "Compare source files to database for deleted files? Y/N". If you press "Y" (compare) the files currently on your source drive will be compared to those files in the database identified as being on the current drive/directory (you DIDN'T change the label?!). If there are any files in the database that are not now on the source drive, a descriptive summary will be printed on your printer so you may delete them if desired. If you press "N" (catalog) you will be asked to identify the Disk/Directory to search for. (NOTE: The search is case- dependent -- in other words, if you type in ALL CAPS, that's what the program looks for. In most cases you should enter the Disk/Directory in ALL CAPS, not Upper and Lower case. Browse the database first, if unsure how the disk label was entered originally.) The program will then scan the database for files on that disk and print a catalog listing in alpha order by filename. The filename, size and timestamp information will be printed followed by the description. Keywords and main filename will NOT be printed. NOTE: There are 2 different functions performed by choice "C" in the Reports Menu. 'Compare' looks for possible deleted files on the source disk, while 'catalog' prints a catalog for a disk from entries currently IN the FILECAT database. (Sorry -- I ran out of screen and numbers!) Page 14 TECHNICAL INFORMATION: If you wish to try to access the FILECAT.DAT data file, the following describes the record definition. NOTE: actual data begins in record 1 (record 0 is reserved for program use). Status : Integer { 0=Active All Else=Deleted } FileName : String[12] { File Name padded with spaces at end + '.' + Extension } FileTime : Integer { Image of DTA file creation time } FileDate : Integer { Image of DTA file date } FileSize : Array[1..4] of Byte { Image of DTA file size } Floppy : Boolean { True=Floppy False=Hard Disk } Vol/Path : String[64] { Disk volume name or Hard Disk Directory Path } StandAlone : Boolean { True=Stand Alone False=if not } MainName : String[12] { Main File Name formatted as FileName above } Keys : String[79] { Keywords } Description : Array[1..4] of String[79] { Four lines of description } Each record is 503 bytes in length with 1 record overhead. Each index key is 14 bytes in length. FILECAT.COM is written in Turbo Pascal using the Database Toolbox, both by Borland International. Requires DOS2.x or greater. Written on an IBM-PC with a color monitor, but should run on close compatibles with monochrome monitors. Probably should have 256K for reasonably fast processing (program uses as much normal memory as available for sorting and B+Tree storage, with disk used for overflow). Beginning with version 2.2, FILECAT has been compiled as a large-code Turbo program using Turbo Extender by TurboPower Software. Using this set of library routines allows FILECAT to exceed the 64K code segment limitation of Turbo Pascal, and all memory to 640K can be used. The programs look like a normal Turbo program (.COM and .CHN files), but all program code is loaded into memory at runtime, including ".CHN" files. Thus, the program disk can then be removed and replaced with a data disk for more data storage. If you request source code, please note that you must therefore have Turbo Pascal 3.0+, the Turbo DataBase Toolbox, and Turbo Extender to modify the program. Necessary "include" files are declared in the program, but the files themselves must come from you. Turbo Pascal, Database Toolbox from Borland International (you know them). Turbo Extender from TurboPower Software, 478 W. Hamilton Ave., Suite 196, Campbell, CA 95008 (408-378-3672) Page 15 SOURCE CODE: Source code is available to user groups, librarians, sysops and other interested users. However, if this program is to become any kind of standard for library disks, programmers shouldn't mess around with the basic record definition so that the TRANSFER.DAT file may be transported from one group to another. If you wish to receive a disk with the source code, librarians should send a couple of their library disks in trade, while others should send a formatted disk and postpaid return mailer. Suggestions and comments are welcome. I'm sure that with some feedback improved versions can continue to be written and distributed. Send your source code requests and comments to: Kenn Flee Jamestown Software 2508 Valley Forge Madison WI 53719 Shareware concept: In general terms, if you like a "shareware" program you are suggested (requested?) to send some amount of money to support the author and further development of the software. Well, OK. I certainly will accept anything, or nothing, you feel this program is worth to you. Just as important (to me) is that you let me know if you like the program... what improvements you would like... what you hate... to say hello. When I started this project, it was supposed to just be a little thing that solved a little problem. Things got a lot out of hand, and FILECAT continues to grow. The cost of a stamp or a few bucks wouldn't be out of line. All I can say is that with a little donation I will be able to mail you some other stuff that you might like. Page 16 REVISION HISTORY: 02/10/86 -- Original release, version 1.0. 02/16/86 -- Minor problem fixed with Epson setup (change Version didn't take effect until second line). 1.1 Additional error checking to eliminate possible entry of "." for Main FileName and Extension.
