CatFish version 1.9 Copyright (C) 1996-1999 Equi4 Software
DESCRIPTION
CatFish is a disk catalog browser. It allows you to save snapshots of the
directory/file structure of your disks and to search through them at any
time. The catalog files maintained by CatFish are very compact and fast,
and can easily handle the huge directory trees often found on large disks,
removable disks, and CD-ROMs. CatFish will calculate total subdirectory
sizes, and lists the date of the newest file found inside each directory.
You can search all catalogs by file name (wildcards), size, and/or date.
When used in Win 95/NT, CatFish will recognize and store long file names.
Furthermore, CatFish can be used as an application or document launcher.
New in 1.9: Long catalog names (Win 95/NT), much simpler catalog scans,
faster, export partial catalog (and format fixed, asks for
a different removable disk if launch of app or doc fails.
Best of all, CatFish is free.

GETTING STARTED
Using CatFish is easy, just start it up. There is no installation, there
are no DLLs, it runs on all Windows versions (and probably also on OS/2).
When you start CatFish for the first time, it will give you a few tips.
When you create catalog files, these will be placed in the same directory
as CatFish (with a ".CF4" suffix). If you move CatFish, you must move the
catalogs as well, otherwise these catalogs will no longer be accessible.
CatFish will create and maintain a catfish.dat, if you ever throw it away,
it will be re-created automatically (this may take some time).
To have CatFish open with the "Find" dialog window, start it up using the
command line "catfish.exe /f" (Win 3.1: program item, Win 95: properties).
TIP: If you have a very large number of disks, you can group the catalog
files into several directories and put a copy of CatFish in each of them.
