I am getting de (-sperate, -pressed,...), and I am hoping someone can
suggest to me a program I am looking for.
I would like to find a DISK CATALOGER with options no one program so far I
have found seems to offer in this combination:
1. diskettes catalog by DOS labels (no CP/M like -disk.num files)
2. unlimited number of files (disk operation is obviously required; all
programs I have found so far have memory operation only.
3. Subdirectories cataloged
4. output/input possible into/from standart PC database or other standard
format files, so I can do mergings, splittings, whatevers.
Obviously, other goodies are most welcome, but I would just thrilled with
this much. In the past several weeks I have downloaded from various BBS
maybe a dozen of diskette cataloging programs, but found nothing like the
above. Some were wonderful, but would allow max 3000 files (that's about
how many diskettes I need to catalog), some would not catalog
subdirectories, some required -disk.num files, etc...
I am not opposed to a commercial program, and of course PD and shareware
are most welcome.
I have access to anonymous ftp, bitnet listserv functions, etc., even
though I am by far less than a novice on these.
With many and numerous thanks in advance,

It's generic DOS and includes C source. It's not as fast as I'd like it to be, but I think it has the features you want, although I don't know for sure if there is an upper bound to the number of files. Also, for a while the .ARC was corrupted by containing a copy of itself(!), and I've been too lazy to download it recently and see if it's still screwed up. Let me know how you make out. -- Don Malpass [malpass@LL-vlsi.arpa], [malpass@gandalf.ll.mit.edu] Overheard at the North/South train platform in the Congo: "Pardon me boy.

But you can patch it to use a program which can produce a directory listing like DOS's DIR but with subdirectories. Naturally, you must make that program by yourself! ;-> Other catalogers (PmCat, CDisk, WSSi) that I have tried support directories but they are limited by the amount of files, directories and disks. It seems like somebody's got to do the dirty job and make The Program! If you haven't tried EasyCat, you can find it from SIMTEL20 and if I don't remember wrong, also from GRAPE.
