The DCAT program is intended to be used with the MCAT disk
catalog program.  While the XCAT program (which is already in the
public domain) gives a listing of the files with a cross
reference of what disks on which they are contained, it is
frequently useful to have a listing of all files grouped by the
disks on which they are contained.  The DCAT program gives such a
listing.

The program will read the file MAST.CAT and print the results out
to a printer.  If the listing of files for a single disk would go
over a page boundary the program will not start them until it
goes to the next page.  The listing is printed with a wide left
margin to allow hole-punching for a notebook.

The program was cannibalized from another program so there is much
room for improvement in the programming.  The initial release of
the program assumes that the file MAST.CAT has been set up so
that at most one file name has been skipped when the MCAT program
catalogs the disks.  It should not be too difficult to modify the
the program to be more flexible in this area.
