Cataloguer is an application that creates a catalogue file detailing the contents of a directory. The catalogue can be read by most common Browsers and allows the user to directly view common graphics files without the need to open them.
The application will benefit web page authors who wish to easily Browse home made collections of web files.
The catalogue file contains titles and description summaries of files as well as offering a preview of the graphics. Most Browsers mandate opening of files to view them and then only present the end user view - which is not the ideal web page developers view.
Windows 95 or above.
To install the application follow the following steps:
To remove the application from the system simply select the Uninstall option from the start menu and follow the instructions on screen. This will delete application files and shortcuts created during installation.
Cataloguer circulates widely as "shareware", giving you the opportunity to try the program at no cost, and to share it with others hence the name. If it doesn't meet your needs, you don't have to pay for it. If you find the program valuable and continue to use it, you can "register" your copy for a modest fee. In return, you get to download the latest version, licence and support from the author.
Shareware offers some unique advantages over retail software, because users interact directly with the author. Obviously, costs are kept down because glossy packaging, advertising, and retail markups are eliminated. But shareware can also resist market trends and continue to provide useful kinds of products that the big corporations have abandoned. And shareware authors can respond more directly to user requests and concerns than software publishers who release an update only when it seems profitable.
Shareware works when users give program authors useful feedback, and most of all, when users support authors by registering their programs. This makes it possible for quality shareware to continue to develop and improve. Cataloguer would not have become what it is now without this kind of support. Please support shareware by registering any programs that you use.
