Last February we were in touch about a problem which I was having
with the MCAT series of programs. You referred me to mcat45, the
latest version, which was not the one which I have been using.
Owing to work pressures, I did not get around to the problem
again till this week.
The problem is still present. MCAT.COM successfully creates a
MAST.CAT of arbitrarily many entries with no difficulties. BUT,
XCAT42.COM is able to print out only up to 256 entries in
MAST.CAT. If the entries are greater in number, it wipes
everything out and cycles back to an empty listing and the
statement to the effect that there is one line one entry. I have
checked the asm versions of both mcat and xcat, USER is NO in
both cases. I have rerun them through the assembler and compared
the output files with the library .COM files. They are
identical.
The problem has been fixed. Now available from SIMTEL20:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD:<CPM.CATLOG>
XCAT43.LBR.1 BINARY 30592 24BCH
For those who don't have this disk cataloging package yet:
MCAT45.LBR.2 BINARY 83968 3EC9H
which contains MCAT45, XCAT43 and several utilities. Only the XCAT
files have been changed in MCAT45.LBR.
