   This is Version 2.1 of my Diskette Catalog System.  

   The Diskette Catalog System is a Clipper based application designed to 
   help organize those unwieldy floppy disks full of archived software.  
   Anyone who may have a hard time keeping track of their software will 
   benefit greatly from this system.  The basic idea behind the use of the 
   Diskette Catalog System is to have a number of diskettes, each containing 
   software archived using your favorite compression utility.  Since many 
   archived applications can fit onto one floppy disk, the Diskette 
   Catalog System facilitates easy organization of software stored in
   this fashion.

   Some major features include:

        o  Quick and easy to use.  The system is designed to do as much of
           the work for you as possible.

        o  Automatic creation of database files and indexes.  When a
	   particular database file or index doesn't exist, the program
	   will create it for you.

        o  Intuitive database layout.  The system maintains a parent/child
           relationship of disks to files on each disk.

        o  Input screens and database maintenance which closely resemble
           the layout of the database itself.

        o  Automatic loading of the database from the floppy disk
           directory; adding or updating entries in the database.

        o  Various listings and reports with the ability to dynamically
           create different sorts and searches.  Each report can be
           printed or viewed on-screen.

        o  Printing of diskette jacking inserts listing file names, sizes
           and available space on each diskette.  Similar to many
	   popular PD cover utilities.

        o  Quick search of database by archive name.

   The complete user's manual, included in the archive, is a plain text
   file and can be printed on any printer without special filtering or
   formatting.
