Or, do you just have so many disks lying around you can not seem to keep track of them all? CatMan-DO!: A management tool to help you keep track of all your files stored on diskettes. CatMan will allow you to catalog and cross-reference data files, programs, or any other files you have. How often have your tried to cram all the file names onto the diskette label? Instead, mark the diskette with the same identifier you entered into the Label field. Now, CatMan can track the files by the Label. The automatic Bulk Load feature is the quickest method to build your database. Simply pop in a diskette, provide the label name and hit the enter key. Files listed in CatMan can be identified by: File Name the DOS file Where It Is a directory path or disk location Package Name an application name Label a personalized identifier Categories up to 6 cross-reference words The Description in CatMan provides an open text area for each entry. This area is useful for any notes or comments you may have about the file. For example, a software librarian may use this area to hold a copy of the FILE_ID.DIZ or track who has borrowed it. For those who prefer printed material, CatMan can print a listing by Label, File Name or Package Name to keep in a notebook. CatMan can also compare filenames across many disks to uncover duplicates. From this you can determine the existence of older data and older versions of programs. Then, you can go back and delete those old files and reclaim previously unusable disk space or even entire diskettes. With CatMan you will have your entire data disk library cataloged and organized in no time. And, once you have loaded all your information, the time you save finding what you need will be incredible. -------------------- ASP Ombudsman Policy -------------------- Sunrise Software is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).

No oral or written information or advise given by Sunrise Software, its dealers, distributors, agents or employees shall create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of this warranty and you may not rely on any such information or advice. You may have other rights which vary from state to state. Neither Sunrise Software nor anyone else who has been involved in the creation, production or delivery of this product shall be liable for the direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (including damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information and the like) arising out of the use or inability to use such product even if Sunrise Software has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program and a printed manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it is retail or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you do not use the product, you do not pay for it. -------------- Acknowledgment -------------- By using CatMan-DO! you acknowledge that you have read this limited warranty, understand it, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions. You also agree that the limited warranty is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between the parties and supersede all proposals or prior agreements, oral or written, and any other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of the limited warranty. ----------------- end of README.TXT -----------------
