CAT IS A GENERAL-PURPOSE, FLEXIBLE CATALOG-LISTING PROGRAM.
IT MAY BE RUN BY ITSELF, OR AS A SLAVE THROUGH HELPER (HELPER
COMMANDS "CAT" AND "CATNH").  THE GENERAL REQUEST FORM IS:

DEVICE: [P,P] N1.X1-N2.X2 / CTAQBXF
 
DEVICE: AND [P,P] SPECIFY THE ACCOUNT.	DEFAULT DEVICE IS DF:,
DEFAULT ACCOUNT IS YOURS.

SEVERAL ACCOUNTS AND NAMES MAY BE GIVEN, SEPARATED BY COMMAS,
AND FOLLOWED BY A SINGLE OPTION STRING.

N1.X1-N2.X2 GIVE A RANGE FOR THE FILES TO BE LISTED.  IF OMITTED,
ALL FILES ARE LISTED.  FILE NAME AND EXTENSION ARE TREATED
SEPARATELY.  AN ENTRY FOR  N.X	WILL BE LISTED IF AND ONLY IF
N1<=N<=N2 AND X1<=X<=X2.
N1 AND X1 ARE PADDED ON THE RIGHT WITH BLANKS;
N2 AND X2 ARE PADDED ON THE RIGHT WITH Z'S.
SOME EXAMPLES ARE:
A.BAS - E.BAS
.BAS
.BAC-.BAS

THE OPTIONS (FOLLOWING SLASH) SPECIFY THE OUTPUT FORMAT.
NOTE THAT THE CATALOGS ARE USUALLY PRINTED "BACKWARDS", I.E.,

ANY OR ALL OPTIONS MAY BE USED, IN ANY ORDER.

AT THE END OF EACH CATALOG IS PRINTED, SAY, ACCT TOTAL 58+6
THIS MEANS THAT THE ACCOUNT HAS 6 BLOCKS OF FILES WITH THE
EXTENSION "TMP", AND 58 BLOCKS OF OTHER FILES.	NOTE THAT THIS
TOTAL INCLUDES UNUSED BLOCKS IN THE LAST CLUSTER, AND IS THEREFORE
AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF THE NUMBER OF BLOCKS WHICH WOULD
