's' to Save the information. The only required items are
the file name and package name fields.
What is the Package Name?
When you walk into a store and ask the clerk for a
software package, you ask for Word, or Windows, or
CatMan-DO!. That is the Package Name. It is used to
identify your files. When using the Bulk Load options,
CatMan enters the file name for the package name. When
entering files individually, you can choose what to enter
for package name.

Choose a drive to read with Select Drive (A: or B:).
Place a diskette in the selected drive, select Automatic
mode, and enter the label name when requested. CatMan
loads the database with information for all the files on
the diskette. Using Automatic Bulk Load, CatMan keeps
track of the last 10 label names entered. You are asked
in you want to duplicate the label name.

dfg
Automatic Mode under Bulk Load is the quickest method to
enter files. For instructions, see the question on how to
use Automatic Bulk Load.
How do I use Manual Mode in Bulk Load?
There are four steps for Manual Mode, the same four items
on the Manual Mode menu. First, Grab All Files reads all
the files on the diskette in the selected drive. Second,
Pick & Choose allows you to review the list of files
found on the diskette and mark which files you want in
the database (Yes/No) using the insert and delete keys.
Third, Edit Label Name allows you to enter the label you
want in the database for the selected files. The label
name can not be blank. Fourth, Load Database completes
the process.
How do I change information once it is entered?
Change information to a file under Files on the main
menu, Alter, Alterations. You can not change File Name
for items that have been bulk loaded. The Time Stamp is
not alterable for any entry.
What is the difference between File Name, Package Name and Label?
File Name is the name you see when you do a directory of
the diskette. Package Name is the name you would use to
buy the software in the store. Label is what is on the
diskette label, either your own label or a pre-printed
label. Bulk Load Automatic Mode enters the file name in
the Package Name since it can not determine the software
name.
