- PROGRAM OVERVIEW
- ================
- Finding files on hard drives can be a nightmare, and finding
- files on removable disks such as CD-ROMs, Zip disks and
- diskettes can be impossible. SuperCat lets you catalog all
- your disks, so you'll never lose a file again.
-
- Made for Windows 95/98, NT (4.0 or later), Me and 2000,
- SuperCat is an easy-to-use utility for cataloging, searching
- and managing removable disks (CD-ROM, Zip, Jaz, SuperDisk,
- diskettes, etc.), hard disks and network drives.
-
- SuperCat 4.2 is both easy to use for novice users, and has powerful
- features required by professional users like, network administrators.
-
- Working with catalogs (also referred to as indexes and indexfiles),
- you can easily locate files on removable disks, even if the disk is
- not physically accessible from your computer.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ===================
- - 486 PC (minimum). Pentium or higher recommended
- - Windows 95/98, NT (v4.0 or later), Me or Windows 2000
- - VGA or Super-VGA monitor
- - 2 MB (minimum) of free disk space
- - A mouse or equivalent pointing device
-
- INSTALL/UNINSTALL
- =================
- Extract the files to a temporary directory. You can delete this
- directory when setup has completed. Run Setup.exe and follow the
- instructions. Use one of these methods to run Setup.exe:
-
- - Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu, type the full path of the
- temporary directory followed by a backslash and the name of the
- installation program (e.g., C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE). Press the ENTER key.
- - Use My Computer or Explorer to find the Setup.exe file. Double-
- click the icon to run it.
-
- You can uninstall SuperCat by double-clicking on "Add/Remove Programs"
- in the control panel, selecting SuperCat in the list, and clicking the
- "Add/Remove" button. After uninstalling, you will need to manually
- remove the SuperCat directory and any files left in it since the
- uninstall does not remove any data files that have been created.
