   New Address from 1/11/1996,   26, Oakdene,
                  Stourport-On-Severn, Worcs, DY13 9NF
                           England....UK.
                         Re-released May 1998.
      This program is Shareware and requires registration if you use it
      in any form.
      Every effort has been made to keep this program small, easy to
      operate and, without BUGS, we hope. Please report any problems
      with the code, not operation, as soon as possible to the above
      address.

      White Hunter is a Utility to Extract information from BBS and
      CD ROMS type files to create a correctly formatted ASCII document
      for use with WhiteCat Cataloguing System or Catalogue-on-a-Disk or
      programs of the elk. If WhiteCAt has been setup in a different way
      other than its default, you will have to manually alter the resulting
      file to suit.
      Use.
      ====
      You must place the BBS type files and White-Hunter, in the same
      directory. Make sure that you have a LEAST three times the disk space
      that the orignal BBS files take. This is inportant, as you will be
      creating new named files that have been manipulated. You need to
      have W-HUNT.EXE without any of the demo files supplied, in the working
      directory with the files needing attention. Run in DOS mode for speed.
      Demo RAW files 1,2,3 and DIR32.BBS are for you to play with.
      When running White-Hunter, you will be presented with a selection
      of CD ROM or BBS type files. If you do not know what type of system
      the files came from, then you will have to test each selection untill
      no "Error" is given.
      If you select "WIZ", you must have "W-WIZ" in the same directory.
      You Must be registered to use White-WIZ as well!!
      If it is not there, the program will stop.
      W-WIZ is under developement and will be re-released soon.

      Disk Type:
      ==========
      Just select the known format or start with "Normal".

      Subcategory Name:
      =================
      You can have this placed at the start of the created file. This is
      the Subcategory Title displayed in WhiteCats second Menu.

      Input File:
      ===========
      Type in the orignal files name with extension, or type in the name
      and select a Function key that has the correct extension, as displayed
      in the box top right corner.  
                                                                Page 2.
      Out File:
      =========
      This is the RESULTING File that White-Hunter creates. Notice that
      the orignal name is given and the extension TXT inserted.
      You can leave this "As IS", or alter it as needs must.

      Date/Ref Numbers: Leave In ??
      =============================
      You will have to decide if these are to be removed.
      A Normal .BBS or CD ROM information file, contains the following:

      Filename     Filesize  Date             Description
      Thingy.ZIP    100000   120195      What a funny thing.

      Some times the Date is empty. Now, in here you could have you own
      reference numbers to show where files are located. ie disk 5 Windows
      and so on. The format for this example could be D5W .

      You can either leave them IN or remove them. By removing them, all
      that happens, is that the new file will have that location "BLANKED",
      "EMPTY".

      Remove Headers:
      ===============
      Some lines of the Orignal File are displayed. You have the chance to
      remove any lines at the TOP/Start of this file.
      BLANK lines or anything that does not look similar to the required
      layout must be removed. You type in the total number of lines
      before the required formatted line, or enter 0 for nothing.

      Example:
      --------
    ÚÄÄÄ White-Hunters line viewing assister. Just helps for counting.
    1  Filename     Filesize  Date             Description
    1
    1  Thingy.ZIP    100000   120195    What a funny thing.
    1                                   Adds a face to this or that
    1  Wiggit.exe     56553   010495    Not a bad product.

       You type 2.  You do not want  Filename  Filesize etc or the
       BLANK line below it.

       Orignal file formats can be some-what different, like

       start of file here
    1                          TITLE
    1
    1
    1  Thingy.ZIP     100000   120195  | To be or not to be, that is
                                       | the question.

       Do not worry about the funny character defore each description
       line. White-Hunter will remove those when correcting the format,
       providing you have got the right operating format on the outset. 
                                                                Page 3.
       If you have requested to remove Dates/Refs. then you will be
       prompted to type in a refference number of no more that
       characters. It can have both Alpha and numerics.

       Once all has been completed, away it goes. If there is an ERROR,
       then you can opt to continue to do all the rest of the files, or
       stop and re-start the process by selecting a new method of
       use on the out set. If the resulting file is not quite right,
       re-run White Hunter and select another way of doing it.
       Always write down what selection was best for what type of file.
       This will be of great help when you come to extract information
       form other disks.

       White-Hunter is very usefull in many respects. Although it is not
       possible to cover every type of format, this does the job well.
       One of the most important little programs in the creation on
       Cataloguing/information/ Systems.
