                          What is FLOPYCAT ?


   
     FLOPYCAT is a SHAREWARE utility program which provides an
      easy way to catalog information about all the files you
      have stored on floppy disks.  
 
     An optional description can be entered in the catalog
      for each file, which will help you to recall the contents
      or purpose of each file.  
 
     The following information is stored in the FLOPYCAT
      catalog for each floppy disk file.  
        o Name of the File  
        o Volume label of the floppy disk the file is stored on  
        o Directory on the disk the file is found in  
        o Size of the file  
        o Date and time the file was created  
        o Optional description of the file (up to 75 characters) 
 
     Once information is stored in the catalog, it can be used to
      quickly find out which floppy disk contains a file that you
      are looking for. No floppy disks need to be mounted for
      this to work.  

    Contents of the FLOPYCAT catalogue can be printed to any
      Windows-defined printer.
 
     Floppy disks of either size (3.5" or 5.25") and of any
      density are supported but EACH disk MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL
      VOLUME LABEL. (You can use File Manager / disk / Label disk
      to put a volume label on a disk, even if it already has
      files on it)  
 
     FLOPYCAT requires that Windows 3.x, Windows 95 or Windows NT
     be installed on your computer.
