SMARTCAT for WINDOWS - Bringing order to chaos.

SMARTCAT is a sophisticated new floppy disk management system for the
Microsoft Windows operating environment. SmartCat was designed from the
start as a Windows application, not a conversion of a Dos product. It
makes full use of all the features of Windows to provide power and
extensive functionality with the ease of use and famililar style of
operation that the environment allows.

With SmartCat you can effectively manage your floppy disk collection,
improve your productivity, reduce media wastage, simplify the use of
archive tools and much much more. You will be putting yourself back in
control of your data and allowing your creativity and talents the time to
be effective.

SmartCat's Features

Some of SmartCat's advanced features include:

Full Windows MDI support, allowing the user multiple views of catalog
data.

Virus scanner interface. SmartCat can optionally automatically call a virus
scanning program before cataloging disks.

Multiple drive support. Both floppy and hard disks can be cataloged.

Archive support, for the ZIP, ARC, UH, etc. archive formats. Archive files
can be analyzed when a disk is cataloged and the internal files recorded.

Windows association support, where a fib which is associated with a
particular application r an automatically cause the application to start
with the selected file as its input (the same as 'double clicking' a file
which has a specified association while in File Manager).

Support for multiple discrete catalogs, and the ability to merge them for
searching, reporting or statistical purposes.

File processing support Once you have found a particular fib you probably
want to do something with it! Smartcat makes it easy to do almost anything
with a file including copying it, moving it, deleting it, renaming it,
running it (if it's executable), processing it (If it's associated with a
particular application), extracting it if archived, exploding it if it
itself is an archive or printing it. If the file is in an archive n will
automatically be extracted first if appropriate to the requested
operation. And if there is something that you want to do with a fib that
is not in the list you can probably achieve it with the user extensibility
feature!

User extensibility. SmartCat allows extension of its file processing
features with the provision of seven 'user buttons' the text and action of
which the user can configure himself. As delivered the caption of the
first 'user button' is set to 'VIEW' and pressing it causes the NOTEPAD
program to start with the specified file as its input The second user
button is set to 'SCAN' and is configured to call McAfee's Virus scanning
program. The other six buttons are set to 'USER2' - 'USER7', and when
pressed initiate the WRITE program. As with all other file processing
support if the file in question needs extracting from an archive first
then SmartCat will do so.

User configurability. Certain parameters are modifiable by the user to
accommodate different working approaches. In particular configuration of
the options of the archive extraction utilities accommodates different
requirements.

Sophisticated searching capabilities. SmartCat fully supports Dos Wildcards
when searching for fibs. Additionally, more complex searches can be
requested by the specification of ranges of filedates and filesizes in
addition to filenames.

Sorting support. SmartCat allows sorting of all lists of files, however
produced, in a number of useful orders. Full ClipBoard support. Any list
of files produced from analysis of the catalog can b coped to the Windows
ClipBoard, in the sort order requested by the user.

Reporting capabilities. Any list of disks or fibs generated can be printed
on request.
