Feature Summary
---------------
Have you ever tried looking for a letter you wrote six months ago
but could not find the diskette you stored the file on? Or, do
you just have so many disks lying around you can not seem to keep
track of them all?
CatMan-DO!: A management tool to help you keep track of all your
files stored on diskettes. CatMan will allow you to catalog and
cross-reference data files, programs, or any other files you
have.
How often have your tried to cram all the file names onto the
diskette label? Instead, mark the diskette with the same
identifier you entered into the Label field. Now, CatMan can
track the files by the Label.
The automatic Bulk Load feature is the quickest method to build
your database. Simply pop in a diskette, provide the label name
and hit the enter key.
Files listed in CatMan can be identified by:
File Name the DOS file
Where It Is a directory path or disk location
Package Name an application name
Label a personalized identifier
Categories up to 6 cross-reference words
The Description in CatMan provides an open text area for each
entry. This area is useful for any notes or comments you may
have about the file. For example, a software librarian may use
this area to hold a copy of the FILE_ID.DIZ or track who has
borrowed it.
For those who prefer printed material, CatMan can print a listing
by Label, File Name or Package Name to keep in a notebook.
CatMan can also compare filenames across many disks to uncover
duplicates. From this you can determine the existence of older
data and older versions of programs. Then, you can go back and
delete those old files and reclaim previously unusable disk space
or even entire diskettes.
With CatMan you will have your entire data disk library cataloged
and organized in no time. And, once you have loaded all your
information, the time you save finding what you need will be
incredible.

Limited Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty
-------------------------------------------

(including instructions for user) are provided "as is"
without warranty of any kind. Further, Sunrise Software,
does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations
regarding the use, or the results of use, of the

the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or
corrections.
The above is the only warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including but not limited to the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, that is made by Sunrise Software, on
the product. No oral or written information or advise
given by Sunrise Software, its dealers, distributors,
agents or employees shall create a warranty or in any
way increase the scope of this warranty and you may not
rely on any such information or advice. You may have
other rights which vary from state to state.
Neither Sunrise Software nor anyone else who has been
involved in the creation, production or delivery of this
product shall be liable for the direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages (including damages
for loss of business profits, business interruption,

-----------------------
Definition of Shareware
-----------------------
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try
software before buying it. If you try a Shareware
program and continue using it, you are expected to
register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some
specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you
get anything from the simple right to continue using the
software to an updated program and a printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights,
with a few specific exceptions as stated below.
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
like retail authors, and the programs are of comparable
quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad
ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right
to copy and distribute the software, either to all and
sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors
require written permission before a commercial disk
vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of
software. You should find software that suits your needs
and pocketbook, whether it is retail or Shareware. The
Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier,
because you can try before you buy. And because the
overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has
the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you do not use
the product, you do not pay for it.

Acknowledgment
--------------
By using CatMan-DO! you acknowledge that you have read
this limited warranty, understand it, and agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions. You also agree that
the limited warranty is the complete and exclusive
statement of agreement between the parties and supersede
all proposals or prior agreements, oral or written, and
any other communications between the parties relating to
the subject matter of the limited warranty.
