1.2 Newer versions and contacting the author
The newest version of CDU is always available at the DISP-HQ on node
2:512/100. CDU is also distributed thru a number of DISP support nodes.
There are three ways of obtaining newer versions of CDU:
- Logging on at DISP-HQ or a support node
Look into the file SUPPORT.CDU for a full list of support noded;
- Logging on to a SDS node
CDU is distributed thru SDS/SDN, but only big minors (x.10, x.20 and
so on) and majors (14.01, 15.01 and so on) are submitted to the SDS
distribution point in Holland;
- Logging on to your own BBS;
Chances are, that you will find an older version (international
users) because it will take some time for the new version to
'bleed' thru the net;
- Update service;
You can enter a special update service (read REGISTER.CDU).
If you think you have found problems in CDU, or in any other case,
you wish to contact the author, you can send me:
- A letter to the address you can find in the header of this file;
- A NetMail
between Van and Hoeven) at 2:512/100 or (better) 2:512/100.5;
- A Message in the FidoNet
2 Package description and requirements
2.1 Preface
Please notice the following:
- CDU is a ShareWare product in every right way, this means this
software is not crippled in any way;
- This program only works when you work with the original CATDISK pro-
gram. CATDISK
2.2 Requirements
CDU requires: - PC XT/AT/386
- At least 200K free memory but it depends on the
options (picklist) you use;
- DOS 3.xx and higher;
(tested with 4Dos 3.02, should work with lower
versions). Tested with DOS 5.0;
- HDU optional
- The original CATDISK program;
2.3 History
In the early '90 I got tired of my diskettes and their files. I needed
a diskette catalog program. I tried a few of them, including CATDISK
but all, also including CATDISK, seemed to slow for my VERY slow PC,
so I did write a small program myself that was nicer than most in-
memory catalog programs but did not include many options.
When I finally installed a new PC at home (a 386/33er) and also hooked
on as a co-sysop for 2:512/100, my files started to grow. Because I
more or less function as a remote backup for the BBS-files, my collec-
tion raised from 50 360Kb diskettes to more than 200 720/1.44 diskettes,
all containing archives.
I was surprised that I suddenly saw a new version of the CATDISK
program (4.60 that was), and decided to try it again. By now I have
created some 'small' customized programs that can help you with some
tasks in CATDISK
CATDISK
These programs, though they can be better, do their jobs and are now
shared with you. The easiest thing you can do, is to delete them but
there could be one or more that suit your needs. In any case, if you
have comments or suggestions, let me know.
3 Installation description
3.1 Installation
This installation is uncommon to my products. That is, because there
are almost no options to set
- Copy the *.EXE files you need (or all of them) to a directory in
the DOS-path;
- Create a line in AUTOEXEC.BAT where you set the environment varia-
ble CATBASE. This variable must point to the directory that con-
tains the CATDISK.DTA/SUM files and/or any other CATDISK
database you have. An example (where the CATDISK.DTA/SUM files
are in C:\CATDISK):
SET CATBASE=C:\CATDISK
- If you normally run CATDISK with special option (the /F[xxx] not
included, this option is inserted by some of the CDU programs
itself), you must create a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT with the
following format:
SET CATPARM=[switch] {switch} .. {switch}
Where [switch]/{switch} are the command-line options you normally
use to start CATDISK. If normally you start CATDISK with /NZ and
/NZC, the line should be 'SET CATPARM=/NZ /NZC' (wthout the quotes).
This is NOT needed when you already have defined a CATDISK environ-
ment variable for CATDISK itself ! If BOTH variables are present,
all CDx programs will first use the values from the CATDISK env.var.
and will APPEND all values from the CATPARM env.var. to these values;
- Be sure to have, at least, CATDISK.EXE in the same directory as
the variable CATBASE points to. If it is not there, copy it to
that directory. This is only needed when CDR and/or CDM is used;
- Read the remainder of the documentation and try it out (after you
have made the CATBASE env.var. active!);
- Previous releases contained a program CDD.EXE. This program could
not be called by that name when you run 4DOS
For this reason it is renamed to CDR.EXE. You should remove any
older CDD.EXE (from the CDU package!!) from your disk;
- If you want to use the new CDT program, you have to create a file
called CDT.CTL which must be somewhere in the DOS-path, alongside
the CDT.EXE file or inside the CURRENT directory. See the description
of CDT about the CDT.CTL file !
4 Runtime information
4.1 General program description
All programs described below work more or less the same. If you have
more than one CATDISK
wanted database by means of a command-line switch (/BASE=) or by means
of a PICK-list. If you have more than one database and you do NOT sup-
ply the /BASE= parameter, the program will show a PICK-list with all
eligable databases. Just move the bar to the right database and hit
the [ENTER] button. All programs have some common command-line para-
meters that can be used. You can use /?, /H, ? or H to display the
valid command-line parameters for each of the programs.
All CDx programs that use a file-mask, contain one EXTRA mask that
is normally not available in DOS. The '=' mask can be used for a
'shifted' test. Some examples explain it best:
=RA will select tRAns.arc, RA_101.zip, warnRAm.arj and so on
=A.E will select mamA.Exe and so on;
You can not combine the '=' mask with other masks like ?? and ** !
4.2 CDC
CDC is the smallest and easiest program. Sometimes the CATDISK
databases will contain 'grabage' characters in some fields. Though it
should be fixed, it is still possible that your databases contain
these characters. These characters do no harm but they can be a pain
in the neck in the case when you want to compress your CATDISK
database(s). If you use programs like DIET or the resident STACKER,
you can get some extra bytes of compression back when the fields in
the CATDISK
field that is NOT in use.
CDC should be run once in a longer period and does nothing more than
cleaning all garbage in the CATDISK
ter the active information but when you are unsure, you must backup
the database first.
CDC works with the following command-line options:
/BASE=nnnnnnnn You can use this parameter to point to the right
CATDISK
(without extension) of the database. If there is
only one database, CDC will use it at once. If
there are more databases and you don't use this
parameter, CDC will show all possible databases
and you can pick one of them;
4.3 CDR
CDR is a nifty utility that can help you to clean your diskette files.
CDR is the CATDISK
program in 2 ways.
- Normal delete (with extra mask)
You will start CDR with one or more file-masks to delete;
- Date-delete
You can delete files that are older than a certain month and year;
When CDR is started, it will search the database for all matches (you
can supply up to 50 ! masks) and will sort them on volume-ID after
you have been presented with a question if one or more (or even all)
of the matched files have to be deleted. Then CDR will ask you to
mount the first volume, the next volume and so on. CDR will combine
all files on one volume so you only have to mount diskettes only once.
They will be asked in volume-ID sorting order and only diskettes that
contain files to be deleted are asked for a mount.
After the file(s) are deleted for a specific volume, CDR will call
CATDISK
program.
CDR works with the following command-line options:
/BASE=nnnnnnnn the same as with CDC
/TOOLD=mmyy mmyy is a valid (4 digit) month and year. When you
supply this parameter, CDR will only delete files
that equal one of the masks AND are OLDER than the
supplied mmyy combination;
/DRIVE=d CDR would like to know the drive that contains the
diskettes that are worked on (delete files). If
you do not supply the option, CDR will ask for the
drive-letter;
/NORESTART When you terminate CDR while CDR is busy with the
manipulation of diskettes (the second part), you
can start CDR again and it will go on as if nothing
has happened. Any selection screens are skipped and
CDR will go on with the next volume in the list. If
this is NOT what you want, you can supply /NORESTART
and CDR will start from scratch again. If you did
finish CDR in a NORMAL way (not pressing ESC), the
restart files are scratched and CRD will start from
scratch the next time. You can also force CDR to
start from scratch (after abnormal termination) by
deleting the files CDR$$???.??? from disk;
/MANUAL Normally CDR will start an automatic sequence to
pass the actions to CATDISK
only partial when you run a non-registered version
of CATDISK
/MANUAL to the command-line. The CDR program will
NOT pass the /CATALOG, /QUIET, /NOSHELL, /NP, /NW,
/NT and /NS command-line options to CATDISK
so you are on your own when CATDISK
4.4 CDF
CDF look much like CATDISK internal file-list but it is somewhat faster
and has some extra options. You can use the movement keys to scroll
left, right, up and down the list and you can use up to 50 masks in
one run. Also the enhanced masks can be used ('='). One extra option
makes it possible to show the diskettes in free-space order so you
can easy select a diskette that can fit your new file.
CDF works with the following command-line options:
/BASE=nnnnnnnn the same as with CDC
/FREE Only show diskettes in free-space order
/ARC Display in-archive files also;
4.5 CDM
CDM is something you must try. Put all new files that have to go to
diskette into one directory on your hardisk (use separate directories
for files that will go into separate diskette-sets e.g. CATDISK
databases). Start CDM.
CDM will first try to look if older versions are already inside the
diskette collection (e.g. SCAN82 is on ARCHIVE 10 and now you have
SCAN83 ready to store on diskette). Also equal files are detected.
For equal files, CDM will ask if you want to delete the file from
hard-disk (answer 'Y'). If you reply 'N', CDM will add the file to
one of the diskettes and BOTH (name-like) versions will reside on
diskette. If you answer 'A', CDM will remove the file from diskette
and will add the one from hard-disk to a new diskette !!
The algorithm to detect different versions is far from perfect. Only
files with names of 5 bytes or longer (excluding the extension) and
with the last 3 bytes unequal but the first bytes equal, are marked.
So, CT21 and CT53 are not detected but MTA_VE14 and MTA_VE16 are.
Now CDM will try to fit the new files on your diskettes in a way that
the diskettes are filled optimal.
This all will only use one mount per eligable diskette. After a
diskette is ready, CDM will call CATDISK so you can update the
database. CDM works at my place but not everybody will store files
in the way I do, so try before you use.
CDM works with the following command-line options:
/BASE=nnnnnnnn the same as with CDC
/DRIVE=d the same as with CDR
/NORESTART When you terminate CDM while CDM is busy with the
manipulation of diskettes (the second part), you
can start CDM again and it will go on as if nothing
has happened. Any selection screens are skipped and
CDM will go on with the next volume in the list. If
this is NOT what you want, you can supply /NORESTART
and CDM will start from scratch again. If you did
finish CDM in a NORMAL way (not pressing ESC), the
restart files are scratched and CDM will start from
scratch the next time. You can also force CDM to
start from scratch (after abnormal termination) by
deleting the files CDM$$???.??? from disk;
/MANUAL Normally CDM will start an automatic sequence to
pass the actions to CATDISK
only partial when you run a non-registered version
of CATDISK
/MANUAL to the command-line. The CDM program will
NOT pass the /CATALOG, /QUIET, /NOSHELL, /NP, /NW,
/NT and /NS command-line options to CATDISK
so you are on your own when CATDISK
4.6 CDS
This is a nice utility if you get many request for copies of your
files. CDS will sort the files from new to old, will ask if you would
like to select each individual file and will show the number of bytes
you have selected. When you stop selecting files, CDS will start to
ask for diskettes and will copy files from the diskette to the current
directory. Also a FILES.BBS alike file, containing any comments from
the CATDISK
CDS works with the following command-line options:
/BASE=nnnnnnnn the same as with CDC
/DRIVE=d the same as with CDR
/NORESTART When you terminate CDS while CDS is busy with the
manipulation of diskettes (the second part), you
can start CDS again and it will go on as if nothing
has happened. Any selection screens are skipped and
CDS will go on with the next volume in the list. If
this is NOT what you want, you can supply /NORESTART
and CDS will start from scratch again. If you did
finish CDS in a NORMAL way (not pressing ESC), the
restart files are scratched and CRS will start from
scratch the next time. You can also force CDS to
start from scratch (after abnormal termination) by
deleting the files CDS$$???.??? from disk;
4.7 CDT
This is a nice utility if you get ALLFILES listings that will be used
to add comments to your CATDISK
configuration-file, called CDT.CTL. This is a plain ASCII file. All
empty lines and lines starting with a '%' character on pos. 1 are
considered as comment-lines. All other lines are used by CDT. The
number of lines in CDT.CTL is unlimited. Every non-comment line must
have the folling syntax:
[mask] [base] [sfile] [efile] [sdir] [edir] [svol] [evol] [scom] [ecom]
[mask] : This is the mask (wildcards allowed) of the ALLFILES-list
that you want to process.
[base] : This is the CATDISK
on which the comment-merge from [mask] will be done. If you
want [mask] to be applied on VARIOUS DIFFERENT catalogs, you
must add a line in CDT.CTL for each of the databases;
[sfile] : The starting position of the filename in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[efile] : The ending position of the filename in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[sdir] : The starting position of the directory in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[edir] : The ending position of the directory in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[svol] : The starting position of the volumeID in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[evol] : The ending position of the volumeID in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[scom] : The starting position of the comment in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
[ecom] : The ending position of the comment in THIS comment-file
(see CATDISK
You can also add some special options in CDT.CTL. These must have the
following syntax:
GlobalChange [from] [to]
[from] : This is the original value inside the comment-file you
supply to CDT (and CATDISK
[to] : This is the actual value that must be inside the comment-file
you supply to CATDISK
The GlobalChange option(s) can be used to change one or more values
inside the original comment-file. You can supply up to 100 GlobalChange
options. They are all case sensitive ! The most obvious use of these
options is to change the extension of the files in the comment-file
(e.g. the ALLFILES list of a BBS) to the extension you use (if you
convert all your archives). The example CDT.CTL will contain the
options to convert everything to .ARJ extensions (based on a uppercase
file-name).
CDT is called with the following syntax:
CDT [file] {/MANUAL}
[file] Must be the complete filename (optionally you can
add the path and drive but the complete name can
not be longer than 40 bytes) of the comment-file
that contains the comments that must be imported;
/MANUAL Normally CDT will start an automatic sequence to
pass the actions to CATDISK
only partial when you run a non-registered version
of CATDISK
/MANUAL to the command-line. The CDT program will
NOT pass the /CATALOG, /QUIET, /NOSHELL, /NP, /NW,
/NT and /NS command-line options to CATDISK
so you are on your own when CATDISK
For example, taken the next CDT.CTL:
CDT.EX1 ARCH 1 12 0 0 0 0 14 80
CDT.EX1 GAME 1 12 0 0 0 0 14 80
CDT.EX2 ARCH 2 13 0 0 0 0 33 110
CDT.EX2 FSIM 2 13 0 0 0 0 33 110
FOO?.* WIN3 2 13 0 0 0 0 33 110
FOO?.FOO CATDISK 2 13 0 0 0 0 33 110
The following calls will result in:
CDT CDT.EX1 : Comments inside CDT.EX1 will be applied to
the ARCH and GAME bases;
CDT CDT.EX2 : Comments inside CDT.EX2 will be applied to
the ARCH and FSIM bases;
CDT FOO1.FOO : Comments inside FOO1.FOO will be applied to
the WIN3 and CATDISK bases;
The normal rules for the text-files apply. CATDISK can only use the
the first 32767 lines. The file must be a text-file (no tabs and
lines not longer than 255 bytes). CDT will NOT read (and/or process)
the text-file itself in any way. It will only parse the CDT.CTL file
and will supply the correct calls to CATDISK. If you are running a
non-registered CATDISK
CATDISK
- Pass the intro-screen;
- Press <9>;
- Press
- Press
CATDISK
Registered CATDISK
YOU register CATDISK and CDU ?). Some examples (CDT.CTL, CDT.EX1 and
CDT.EX2 are supplied inside the archive CDT__EXA.???).

1.01 First rudimental release
Try it out
1.02 Bug release (only CDD)
CDC
Nothing changed, not supplied in 1.02
CDD
CDD would incorrect detect files that were to old. Newer files
were not deleted but some of the older files could stay on the
diskette library. This is fixed;
CDD first sort out the possible deletes. Then CDD would ask for
volumes and at THIS moment the user could reply Y/N. This order
is changed. CDD will sort out the matches and will ask a Y/N
before ANY volume has to be mounted;
CDF
Nothing changed, not supplied in 1.02
CDM
Nothing changed, not supplied in 1.02
CDS
Nothing changed, not supplied in 1.02
1.03 Minor release

Only some cosmetic changes;
CDD
Added /RESTART;
Added /NOSTUFFKEY to overrule the stuffing of keys into the
keyboard to run CATDISK
Added option to 'Q'uit the selection process. CDD will start with
the files you selected sofar. Hitting [ESC] in the questionaire
will cause CDD to terminate;

do something with it. This is fixed;
CDR will now look if there is a CATDISK env.var. available and
will use the values;
CDR will now work with registered versions of CATDISK
