CATALOG.APP
By Jeff Bankston
First published April 14, 1994

CATALOG.APP is a small FoxPro project that converts TAPCIS-
compatible CIS catalog files with the .CAT extension into an 
xBase database with the DBF extension. In this current 
revision, the only restrictions present are that the source 
file must have the .CAT extension as per what TAPCIS generates 
and the source file must also reside in the current directory 
where CATALOG resides.

There are three files in the archive CATCVT.ZIP which are:
1) CATALOG.APP ----> the application itself
2) CATALOG.TXT ----> this text file
3) TESTDBF.DBF ----> the template database
Please keep all three files in the same directory; in fact, this is a 
requirement of the template database.

This version is neither fancy nor pretty, but is pretty 
functional given the amount of work required to build the 
program. Future versions and updates are strictly dependent on 
user feedback. While this one is quite functional, I have run 
out of time for all the neat spiffy things I wanted to do, so 
this will have to suffice unless bugs are found.

This program is also free for useage, no fees or such are employed. 
However, this file may not be posted to any BBS or other part of CIS 
without the express written permission of the author..... ME! I just 
want to be able to track how much the program is being used; I don't 
care about the rest of it. 

Send all feedback and comments to me at CIS 72241,1204. I take all 
comments, good, bad, and indecent...... especially the good.
