I’m currently testing disk catalog software programs as you might have guessed already. Cathy is the second that I’m going to write a review about, the first disk catalog software was Visual CD. Cathy uses a different approach than Visual CD; It’s a portable and an ultra-fast disk catalog software which does not have all the features of Visual CD.
Cathy has a size of only 59 Kilobytes unpacked and creates a new disk catalog file after scanning and indexing a new disk. I previously mentioned that the indexing process was fast.
