- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- With DCAT.BAS, find files on a floppy instantly
- with this BASIIIC disk cataloging program.
-
- The DOS files MORE, FIND, CHKDSK, and BASICA must be on your
- hard drive, and the directories these files are in must be in
- your PATH command. If your version of DOS includes
- GWBASIC, substitute that name for BASICA throughout the
- instructions here.
-
- Run DCAT by typing BASICA C:\DCAT\DCAT from the DOS prompt
- or from a batch file. If you've just upgraded to DOS 5.0,
- use QBASIC /RUN C:\DCAT\DCAT to get started.
-
- You will need to edit the source file at line 20 to change
- the name of the directory you will use to hold your DCAT
- files (as in the C:\DCAT\ directory shown above).
-
- You will also need to delete lines 20 and 30 from the
- original program after you've cataloged a few of your disks
- or your F-CAT.LST file will be overwritten.
