     INTRODUCTION & QUICK START
     ==========================

     GRAPHCAT requires  WordPerfect for Windows, any  version from 5.2
     through 7.0, running in Windows 3.0,  3.1, or Windows 95. It is a
     WordPerfect  add-in product that reads any disk or directory, and
     creates a pictorial listing of all the graphics found.

     Setup
     -----
     In  each version of WordPerfect,  go to a  blank document screen,
     press Macro (Alt-F10), type the path to where the files are,  and
     the macro name shown here, and press Enter.

     For  WordPerfect 7.0, press Macro, type the path and 'setup7' and
     press Enter.
     For WordPerfect 6.1, 6.0a, and 6.0, use 'setup6'.
     For WordPerfect 5.2 and 5.2+, use 'setup5'.

     For  example, to  install  Graphcat  in  WordPerfect  7,  from  a
     diskette in drive a,  press Macro(Alt-F10), type 'a:\setup7', and
     press Enter.

     Next,  run  the  main  macro  by  pressing  Macro,  and  entering
     GRAPHCAT. Answer the  prompts for the  drive and directory,  file
     mask, catalog title,  number of columns, and  graphic height. The
     default values for columns and height allow 28 graphics per page,
     and there are  default values  for every entry  (except the  file
     directory in  WPWin52), so  you can  just  click on  OK, NEXT  or
     FINISH  to  accept  the defaults  as  you  learn  the power  that
     Graphcat brings to clip art catalogs.

     DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
     =======================

     Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
     before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
     using it, you are legally required to register. With
     registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
     using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

     Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
     and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
     exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
     programmers, just like commercial 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's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
     fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
     And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
     has the ultimate money-back guarantee--if you don't use the
     product, you don't pay for it.

     WHAT IS GRAPHCAT?
     =================

     I've been collecting clip art for different projects. A small
     book, some newsletters, signs, and still more pictorial projects.
     I've drawn some, scanned some paper clip art, and bought some
     disks of pictures. I was beginning to lose track of which disk
     had what pictures. I needed an index, a printout of every graphic
     I had, so I could keep them handy for reference.

     The WPG files shipped with WordPerfect have their own printed
     picture indexes of art in the manual, but disks of PCX or CGM
     files from computer show rack vendors are escapees from that
     elusive paperless office we all keep hearing about. And clip art
     disks are uneven; some of them are full disks of excellent art on
     related topics, but others are totally unrelated pictures. Worse,
     because there are several flavors of each of the graphics file
     formats, some files will not be recognized by WordPerfect, and
     will read as bad. Overall, clip art disks are worthwhile, but a
     printed index would help sort the good files from the fuzzy junk.

     And the commercial clip art isn't much better. Oh, the graphics
     are better, but the printed indexes are printed too small, or on
     newsprint, or are all mixed in with the pictures of every other
     graphic collection sold by that company.

     Meanwhile, my co-workers on a newsletter project wanted to see
     all their clip art. I kept their graphics on a separate disk, but
     they wanted paper copies to refer to, so they could tell me, "Use
     that butterfly picture from page two." I began to create a sample
     document, with every graphic shown, and the file names, and the
     disk titles, and immediately found that there was too much work
     involved. I had two options: I could delegate the job, or write a
     macro to do the job. Since I couldn't find anyone who would spend
     three hours to create the index for each disk, I wrote GRAPHCAT.
     It's a lot faster than an assistant; it only takes from a few
     seconds to a few minutes to complete the job, depending on the
     speed of the computer and the size of the graphics files.

     GRAPHCAT makes this task easy, so easy that nearly no effort is
     needed to create a new catalog for each directory or floppy of
     pictures. If the macro is told the drive and path of the files,
     the computer should do the rest.

     With just that information, the WordPerfect macro reads the
     appropriate directory, identifies the graphics files, sets their
     sizes, locations, and options in a catalog, and leaves that
     catalog ready to print. Once the catalog is built, you may
     preview it, print it, and save it if you want. However, I don't

     G R A P H C A T ( Windows )    V. 4.0                          10

     recommend saving these files because they will be slightly larger
     than the cumulative size of all the graphics in the directory.

     Since starting to catalog my clip art collection, I've found
     pictures I didn't know I had, and I've used some of those in new
     projects. Now that I don't have to hire extra help to create the
     listings, I can find the picture I want in no time, and, better
     yet, I can take the picture notebook with me to a co-worker, a
     client, or a conference, and I don't need to borrow someone
     else's computer and be at the mercy of someone else's operating
     system.


     WORDPERFECT 7, 6 OR 5.2? (NEW FEATURES)
     ---------------------------------------

     Throughout this manual, when the keystrokes and procedures are
     the same for both WordPerfect versions, the steps will be listed
     only once. However, when the steps are different, you will see
     this:
     WPWin52: Do these steps in WordPerfect for Windows 5.2 or 5.2+.
     WPWin6/7: Or these in WordPerfect for Windows 7.0, 6.1 6.0a, or
     6.0.

     WPWin6 has greatly enhanced macro power, so there are a few
     features available in the WPWin6 version of Graphcat that are not
     in the 5.2 edition. Similarly, WPWin 7 adds support for
     Windows-95-style long filenames. The WPWin6 version has these
     enhancements: 1) The file directory to search can be selected by
     clicking on the file icon, and double-clicking on the directory
     name. 2) The extra options screen allows partial file catalogs
     for inventorying large directories of clip art. 3) Horizontal-
     format catalogs (left-to-right) are available as an option in
     WPWin6. The WPWin7 version has all the enhancements above, plus
     support of long filenames for your graphics, shown as endnotes.

     Every question has a default setting in Graphcat for Windows. For
     the easiest use of Graphcat, type the file path at the first
     prompt, and press [Enter]. Graphcat will handle everything else.

     GRAPHCAT should work properly with ANY WP/Win language module.
     However, I have not been able to test every possible
     international combination of software and hardware. Please write
     if you find that GRAPHCAT fails in any way on your system.

     Writing software in a macro language is like controlling a
     rowboat by towing it from a distance of five parsecs. GRAPHCAT
     should work in all future releases of WP/Win BUT, sometimes new
     "features" disable old features. When this happens, try turning
     "off" the new features if GRAPHCAT doesn't seem to like the new
     release. Better yet, call or write for support--there will be
     either a fix or a new release, as needed, to fix any problems
     caused by new features. For example:

     Due to feature changes in WPWin60 interim release "a" and after,
     versions of Graphcat 3.0 and 3.01 will fail before completing any
     catalog pages. That compatibility issue has been allowed for in
     versions 3.1 & above of Graphcat, which can run in all editions
     of WPWin 6.0 & 6.1 & 7.0 for Windows.

     Also fixed are incompatibilities from version 3.00 with full
     justification in default initial codes, as seen in some UK
     editions of WPWin60, and error messages that appear when the
     older Graphcat was used with the Share program, noted mostly by
     users of MS Excel.

     NEW SINCE VERSION 3.0
     ---------------------

     Those users who use more than four columns in their catalogs
     sometimes find that the image names wrap or hyphenate to two
     lines, throwing off the neat line-ups of images on the page.
     Graphcat running in WPWin6/7 automatically shrinks the base font
     for the document to make it fit into one line. The point size of
     the page title is not affected. New in 3.2: Non-scalable fonts
     can also be auto-adjusted; Graphcat adds the small or fine
     attributes as needed.

     New in 4.0:
     Support for WordPerfect 7.0, including long filename support.
     The default settings have changed: In WPWin6 & 7, Graphcat now
     defaults to the "Graphic on disk" selection, and the default
     catalog is now set at 100 images (28 in evaluation edition).

     INSTALLATION
     ============

     If you are reading these files on screen, you may print them with
     the PRINTDOC.BAT batch file. (Don't print them from WordPerfect--
     they are formatted with page breaks for printing from DOS.)
     The easiest way to run the PRINTDOC batch file is to go to DOS by
     double-clicking on the MS-DOS prompt icon, usually installed in

     the Accessories group. (Type EXIT when ready to return to
     Windows.) In Windows 95, press START, and choose MS-DOS prompt,
     it's usually in the Programs menu.

     From the DOS prompt, log to the directory holding the Graphcat
     distribution files, type PRINTDOC, and press ENTER.

     SAVING HARD DRIVE SPACE
     -----------------------
     For either the WP7, WP6, or WP52 versions of Graphcat, there are
     two files that must remain on your hard drive to be used. If you
     install more than one version, each version of WordPerfect will
     have its own files. These files are GRAPHCAT.WCM, GRAPHCAT.DLL
     (for WPWin52 and 6x), and GRAPHCAT.EXE (for WPWin7). The SETUP
     macros will copy those files for you, and will also create a
     directory for the optional clip art samples and instruction
     files. These routines will copy the samples and TXT files to any
     location you wish.

     The clip art images and TXT files need not remain on your hard
     disk once you have become comfortable with running the software.
     The macros and `dll' and `exe' file must remain in the WP/Win
     macro directories.

     PROMPTS
     =======

     Start GRAPHCAT by pressing Macro (Alt-F10), typing GRAPHCAT, and
     pressing Enter. You must have at least two document screens
     available, but not to worry: GRAPHCAT checks for workspace and
     will not let you do anything dangerous. A full-screen dialog box
     will appear, asking five questions. All of these questions are
     optional, and allow you to customize your catalogs.

     At the first prompt, enter the drive name and path for the
     subdirectory to be searched. You may omit the ending backslash if
     you like. GRAPHCAT is smart enough to accept the path name either
     way. Pressing Cancel (Esc) or clicking the Cancel button at any
     time will end the macro.

          The file directory to search can be selected by clicking on
          the file icon, and double-clicking on the directory name.

     The second prompt asks for the file mask. Any type of graphics
     file readable by WordPerfect may be entered here. What's a file
     mask? The simplest file mask is the famous "*.*" which means the
     files with any name and any extension. The asterisk substitutes
     for any group of characters, and a question mark substitutes for
     any single character. The period is required.

     For example, to inventory all the WPG clip art in a directory,
     use a file mask of "*.WPG" or to find all the files starting with
     "BIG-" use "BIG-*.*" as the answer at the second prompt. If you
     leave this prompt blank, Graphcat will look at "*.*" or all the
     files in the directory.

          It's very easy to just enter *.* as the file mask and try to
          search every file in a directory for graphics. Don't do it!
          The wild card extension is intended for cataloging mixed
          disks of graphics files. If you use the *.* choice for
          directories containing program files, GRAPHCAT will run far
          more slowly, because it must load and identify as bad every
          program file in the directory. For best and fastest results,
          use the real file mask of the graphics you are looking for,
          unless you really do intend *.* to mean ALL the files in the
          directory.

     The third prompt asks for a title, and the macro will place that
     title in a header on each page of the catalog. I recommend
     entering the name of the graphics collection or the name of the
     archived backup for that collection, such as "Business Graphics--
     BUSINESS.ZIP" in this area. You may leave this prompt blank if
     you wish, and Graphcat will create a title for you, reading "Clip
     Art in " and the file mask from the second prompt.

     The next two prompts request the number of columns and the height
     to make each graphic. WordPerfect will calculate the width to
     keep the graphics true to scale, room permitting. If less than
     about twice the height of a graphic is available for the width,
     some graphics in horizontal format will be compressed to fit the
     column. For four columns, a height of about one inch or 2.5 cm 
     allows ample room, and 28 images fit on one page. Some of the
     best combinations of columns and image heights are displayed near
     the right side of the dialog box.

          INTERNATIONAL USERS IN WPWin52 & 6x: GRAPHCAT needs to know
          how tall you would like your graphics printed in your
          catalog. That measurement is entered in inches if the
          language WordPerfect detects is US English. For all other
          languages, including other varieties of English, centimeters
          are used automatically. If you would like to use a different
          measurement, you must add a measurement identification
          letter after the number, using the standard WordPerfect
          abbreviations. For example, i or " for inches, c for
          centimeters, or p for points.

          WPWin7: GRAPHCAT now uses a counter control in WPWin7 to
          allow you to click the image height up or down, and that
          control is set in inches if you are running US English, and
          centimeters otherwise.

     Once the last entry has been made, click on OK or NEXT, and
     GRAPHCAT will go on to the Options menu. As each graphic is
     loaded, the macro announces the new graphic on the bottom line of
     the document screen.

     THE OPTIONS DIALOG BOX & CD-ROM SUPPORT (WPWIN6/7 ONLY)
     =======================================================

     Graphics collections have gotten very large. I frequently hear
     from customers that they have several thousand images in one
     directory, and that they want to inventory that one big directory
     as one group. That is impractical for many reasons, but the most
     important reason to break a catalog up into pieces is that you
     cannot expect WordPerfect to run smoothly with ten megabytes of
     image files in its document memory. It just won't happen.

     You can create a partial catalog in WPWin6/7 by entering your
     choices on the options menu, which will appear automatically once
     you complete the first dialog box. The menu has three items to
     fill in. In most cases, you will be able to click on OK
     immediately without making any changes here.

     STARTING FILE NAME (WPWIN6/7 ONLY)
     ----------------------------------

     This is the file name to begin the catalog with. You may manually
     type in the name of the image, or you may choose the name from a
     file list (recommended!) by clicking on the file icon or by
     pressing Alt-Down Arrow.

     You may also enter a partial file name here. For example, to
     start the catalog with the first image starting with the letter
     "G", you would just type that letter here.

     This box will start out as blank the first time that you run
     Graphcat in a directory, or the first time in a WordPerfect
     session. However, if you run Graphcat again in the same
     directory, this box will automatically hold the next file name to
     catalog, if the last catalog was of fewer graphics than those
     remaining in the directory.

     NUMBER OF IMAGES (WPWIN6/7 ONLY)
     --------------------------------

     Select how many images to catalog here. The default is 60, but
     you will probably choose to catalog your images in groups of 56
     (2 pages of 28 images in 4 columns) or some other number that
     will fill a set of pages. This number will carry over from one
     run of Graphcat to the next, within the same WP session.

     PAGE NUMBER (WPWIN6/7 ONLY)
     ---------------------------

     Select what page number to use for the first page of the catalog.
     If you are cataloging the same directory as a previous run,
     Graphcat will provide a default choice of the last page that was
     created, plus one.

     CD-ROM SUPPORT (WPWIN6/7 ONLY)
     ------------------------------

     For cataloging a large group of files, and especially for CD-ROM
     clip art disks, set Graphcat to catalog as many images as will
     fill one page, or a multiple of pages, with no partial pages.
     Print the catalog normally when done, and restart Graphcat. Press
     (Enter) at both screens, and Graphcat will prepare the next set
     of images, creating a catalog of the same size as the first, and
     starting with the next image to be cataloged, and the next page
     number. Graphcat can work all the way through a CD-ROM in this
     way, simply by breaking up the catalogs into printable sizes.

     IN GENERAL
     ----------

     If GRAPHCAT and WordPerfect decide that a graphic in your sample
     directory is not a proper graphics file, GRAPHCAT will add that
     file name to a list of files that could not be loaded, and that
     list will be printed at the end of the catalog. You may delete
     that message after the catalog is prepared, or you may try to
     convert the bad graphic or edit it with a graphics program,
     resave it, and run GRAPHCAT again. Because not every version of
     every graphic format is supported by WordPerfect, I prefer to
     leave the file list in the catalog to identify a file that may be
     usable in other software, but not in WordPerfect. (Or the disk
     may contain non-graphic files, such as a README.DOC, and these
     files will be listed automatically at the end of the catalog.)

     When the catalog is finished, a dialog box will appear to let you
     know. From this point on, the catalog is just a complex document,
     and you may edit it or print it as you would any other large
     document.

     GRAPHCAT may be stopped in mid-inventory by pressing Cancel (Esc)
     just once; there may be a time lag of a few seconds before the
     macro stops. If you use Cancel to stop GRAPHCAT, the macro will 
     warn you that the catalog is incomplete.

     GRAPHCAT has error trapping routines built in to prevent garbage
     entries, and to turn off Reveal Codes if needed, and will not try
     to run if you start them without sufficient work space. If you
     wish to import the catalog into a document, run the macro first,
     and then merge the other text or formatting into the catalog.

          In general, Graphcat can create a larger catalog of
          graphics than WordPerfect can print. The maximum
          catalog size for each user will vary greatly, depending
          mostly on memory. Try not to catalog more images than
          will fit in memory. Although WordPerfect will use disk
          space as extra workspace after memory is full,
          performance and speed will drop dramatically, and your
          results will be both faster and more reliable if you
          split large catalogs up into several separate mini-
          catalogs.

     EDITING AND PRINTING TIPS
     =========================

     COLOR CLIP ART
     --------------
     WordPerfect for Windows 5.2 does not support color while using a
     WordPerfect printer driver, unless the printer uses color
     Postscript. For any other color printer, a color catalog of clip
     art is available, but you must use a Windows printer driver to
     print in color on non-Postscript color printers. WPWin6 supports
     color on most color printers.


     HORIZONTALLY SQUASHED IMAGES
     ----------------------------
     If your images appear to be squashed horizontally when you print
     or preview, you need to use either fewer columns or a smaller
     image height. To change the height of the images, clear the
     document and restart GRAPHCAT. You can change the columns without
     rerunning GRAPHCAT, but if you are not comfortable with using the
     Reveal Codes feature, it may be easier to simply run Graphcat
     again with the new columns setting than to edit the completed
     document. First, press Ctrl-Home to reach the extreme top of the
     document, before any codes. Turn on Reveal Codes (Alt-F3), and
     look for a code that looks like this:
     [Col Def: Newspaper...

     Place the cursor immediately after that code, and press Layout,
     Columns, Define from the menu. Change the number of columns and
     click on OK. You may now delete the first of the two column
     definition codes, turn off Reveal Codes (Alt-F3), and check your
     document by printing or previewing again. The images should no
     longer be squashed, but with extremely wide images, you may need
     to try still fewer columns, or perhaps none at all.

     WRAPPED FILE NAMES
     ------------------

     When using more than four columns in WP52, long graphics names
     may wrap to the next line, reducing the number of graphics that
     fit on a page. If the names wrap, reset the base font to a
     narrow, condensed, or thin typeface, using Layout, Document,
     Initial Font, choosing a smaller font, and clicking OK when done.


     LANDSCAPE PRINTING
     ------------------

     If GRAPHCAT detects any codes in your document, even a page
     definition, it will open a new document before creating your

     G R A P H C A T ( Windows )    V. 4.0                          18

     catalog, and the document you started from will be left
     unchanged. So if you need a graphics catalog on a page size that
     is not your default paper size, such as a landscape version of A4
     or 8 1/2" x 11", then follow these steps:

     First, run GRAPHCAT normally. Choose one column so that GRAPHCAT
     will not insert a column definition code. Next, press Ctrl-Home
     to go to the top of the document. If you have turned off the Auto
     Code Placement option in Preferences, you must also use the left
     arrow key to position the insertion point before ALL of the
     formatting codes. Select your paper size from the list available
     after choosing Layout, Page, Paper Size. Click on Select when
     done.

     Next, add column codes, by choosing Layout, Columns, Define,
     entering the number of columns, and clicking OK. You may also
     wish to reduce the space between columns at the Distance Between
     Columns menu choice. Choose Layout, Columns, Columns On to turn
     on columns, and then press Ctrl-End to go to the bottom of the
     document. WordPerfect will reformat your document as it travels.
     Your document is now ready to edit, view, or print normally.

     TROUBLE-SHOOTER'S GUIDE--GRAPHCAT
     =================================

     1) "In WP 7, some of my image captions are all UPPER case, and
     some are Mixed Upper and lower case. These files are saved with
     regular DOS 8+3 (filename.ext) filenames."

     No. They're not. A legal 8+3 filename is always all upper case.
     However, when you started using Windows 95, and thought you were
     saving files with legal MS-DOS filenames, Windows 95 was busily
     saving them as you typed them, in lower case, or with a
     capitalized first letter, like Filename.wpg. Windows 95 feeds as
     all caps to 16-bit programs like WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.1, but
     WordPerfect 7 and Graphcat 4.0 can read the mixed case names.

     GRAPHCAT handles long filenames like this: If the Windows 95
     "long" filename is the same length as a DOS filename, of 12
     characters or less, it uses that filename as the image caption.
     If it is longer than 12 characters, it uses the DOS version of
     the name (LONGFIL~.TXT) for the caption, and places the full-
     length file name in an endnote.

     2) "Whoa! I just upgraded to WP7 and Graphcat 4.0 from an earlier
     Graphcat in another WP, and now my catalogs look different!"

     Sometimes, yes. Vertical-format catalogs have changed from
     Newspaper-style columns, that fill each column before going on to
     the next, to BALANCED Newspaper columns, where WP 7 attempts to
     keep all the column lengths the same on each page. It succeeds
     most of the time, but not always. For catalogs of more than one
     page, only the last page looks different.

     Why the change? Easy enough. The endnotes needed to list long
     filenames don't work well in Newspaper columns, unless you LIKE
     reading filenames that are hyphenated four or five times. 

     If your catalog doesn't contain any long filenames, you can
     easily change it back to Newspaper style: just run Graphcat
     normally, and then go to the top of the catalog, turn on Reveal
     Codes (Alt-F3), double-click on the code starting with '[Col.Def'
     and click on the top selection of column types, Newspaper, and
     then on OK. You might need to go down to the bottom of the
     catalog once (Control-End) to convince WP to reformat the pages.

     2) "GRAPHCAT loads properly, and the big box appears on screen,
     but once I click on OK, an error message appears telling me that
     the macro could not find the DLL file."

     This applies to WP52 and 6x, but there is a similar message for a
     GRAPHCAT.EXE file in WP7. You must run the SETUP macro to place

     All Rights Reserved                (C) Copyright 1996 Jerry Stern




     G R A P H C A T ( Windows )    V. 4.0                          20

     these files in the WP macro directories. No other location will
     do. See the installation instructions on page 3 for help.

     3) "GRAPHCAT runs perfectly, but I cannot print the result file.
     The error messages say I don't have enough disk space, or that
     the swap file is full, or WPWin7 says a memory error has
     occurred."

     This can happen if you are trying to catalog a large file of clip
     art, and you have very little memory or hard disk space available
     for WordPerfect to work in. To fix it, from the Windows Program
     Manager, highlight the WP icon, and choose File, Properties. If
     you have another hard drive partition available with more space,
     such as D: or E:, change the Working Directory prompt to that
     drive, click on OK, and restart WordPerfect. If there is no other
     partition, you will need to move or delete unneeded files from
     your hard disk to free up some work space.

     In WPWin6 or 7, you should try breaking the catalog into page-
     size chunks; see the Options Menu instructions on page 14.
     Setting the graphics quality to medium or draft also helps reduce
     the amount of data that must be handled for each page, and
     eliminates some problems.

     Remember that printing images smaller does NOT reduce the amount
     of memory they use during printing. A page containing fewer large
     images is easier to print than one with many small images.

     4) "My catalogs print very slowly, or only half the page prints."

     A page full of graphics will print slowly, and most laser
     printers do not come equipped with enough internal memory to
     print a complex catalog at the highest resolution settings. On a
     laser printer, if the entire page does not print, try printing
     the page at a lower setting for graphics quality, or use fewer
     columns. Again, note that reducing the size of a graphic does not
     reduce the complexity of the print job, so a page with one column
     of larger graphics will print more quickly than a page containing
     several columns of small graphics.

     The newer laser printers frequently use standard SIMM modules, so
     adding memory can be very cheap--check the printer manual to see
     if it requires a proprietary cartridge or a standard SIMM. Adding
     4 Mb of RAM to a printer is usually fine for letter-sized
     printouts with full-page graphics at 600 dots per inch.

     5) "Sometimes when I use the *.* file mask, GRAPHCAT loads a file
     as a graphic that isn't one. The document loads and prints
     normally, but the box is either empty or contains a random
     pattern. Or, and much worse, WordPerfect progresses partially

     G R A P H C A T ( Windows )    V. 4.0                          21

     through the catalog, asks for a password, and then crashes with a
     General Protection Fault (usually WPWIN52)."

     Both conditions are caused by trying to use the *.* file mask
     option inappropriately. The * wild card choice was intended for
     reading disks containing mixed graphics in different formats,
     such as WPG and GEM and CGM graphics mixed together, NOT for
     attempting to load every program file on your hard drive in the
     attempt to see if any of them are graphics. GRAPHCAT will
     correctly identify nearly every file as a graphic or not a
     graphic, but there are exceptions.

     The General Protection Fault does not occur often, unless an odd
     combination of factors is present, such as a bad file combined
     with either the SHARE command in use, or a Hyphenation ON code in
     the Document Initial Codes area of Preferences. Solution: Don't
     run SHARE unless you are running software or hardware that
     specifically demands it, such as some network packages. Or remove
     that Hyphenation code from Document Initial Codes.

     To avoid these problems altogether, when cataloging a directory
     of mixed graphics and program files, use the appropriate file
     mask, such as *.PCX or *.WPG on the second line of GRAPHCAT's
