Subject: XCAT42 problem fixed - XCAT43 now available

    Last February we were in touch about a problem which I was having
    with the MCAT series of programs. You referred me to mcat45, the
    latest version, which was not the one which I have been using.
    Owing to work pressures, I did not get around to the problem
    again till this week.

    The problem is still present.  MCAT.COM successfully creates a
    MAST.CAT of arbitrarily many entries with no difficulties. BUT,
    XCAT42.COM is able to print out only up to 256 entries in
    MAST.CAT.  If the entries are greater in number, it wipes
    everything out and cycles back to an empty listing and the
    statement to the effect that there is one line one entry.  I have
    checked the asm versions of both mcat and xcat, USER is NO in
    both cases. I have rerun them through the assembler and compared
    the output files with the library .COM files.  They are
    identical.

The problem has been fixed.  Now available from SIMTEL20:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory PD:<CPM.CATLOG>
XCAT43.LBR.1                   BINARY   30592  24BCH

For those who don't have this disk cataloging package yet:

MCAT45.LBR.2                   BINARY   83968  3EC9H

which contains MCAT45, XCAT43 and several utilities.  Only the XCAT
files have been changed in MCAT45.LBR.
