CATALOG/VALIDATE
================
This function validates the active catalogue. After execution
a text display appears which reports on the status of the catalogue.
This validation report can also be printed on a connected printer.
* Data integrity of catalogue files
-------------------------------
Usually catalogue files cannot contain less entries than the catalogues
own entries. But if under certain circumstances like hard disk
errors etc. the .index or .image files contain less data records
than the catalogue contains entries, the validate function tries to
repair the catalogue files.
This operation may cause some entries to be lost.
The following validation report will contain information about
the status of the catalogue files.
* too much memory used within the data path
------------------------------------------
A check is made to see whether catalogue files use more memory than
they actually need according to the number of catalogue entries.
See also OPTIMIZE.
* duplicate entries
-----------------
Should graphics have been catalogued twice (or more often)
these will be reported after validation. By using ENTRIES/SEARCH
the duplicate entries can be searched for and then removed from
ENTRIES/SEARCH and ENTRIES/FOUND...)
* changed graphics
----------------
This functions checks whether graphics have been modified after
cataloguing. Should such changes be detected the validation
report will show the corresponding entries. UPDATE allows the user to
automatically catalogue these graphics again.
* availability of all the catalogued graphics/animation's
-------------------------------------------------------
A check is made to see whether
all catalogued graphics are still available in the
data paths. Deleted graphics will be listed in the validation
report. UPDATE allows removing of these entries from the catalogue.
