ImageCatalog is a program to help maintain libraries of clipart by
producing "contact sheets" which are thumnails of the individual files.
As I'm having trouble running it, I emailed the author but he seems to
have "moved away".

--------------- copy of my email to Tom Bereiter ----------------------
I downloaded version 1.0b3 of ImageCatalog from sumex and it seems like
just the program I've been looking for but I do seem to be having
trouble getting it to work.  I think my problems may be due to the fact
that I'm using system 7 -- I see that this version pre-dates system 7.
I wondered if there may be a more recent version but last night O tried
AOL and they also have 1.0b3.

The first problem I had involved the use of system 7's desktop folder.
I scattered a few PNTG files there and asked ImageCatalog to scan them.
It blew up big time, saying MacOS Result Code = -120 with the files to
go window indicating "-1 files still to go" -- that's MINUS 1!  Each
time I pressed the OK (or continue?) button it bombed again.  After
rebooting, and much thought, I decided that using the desktop folder
might be the problem so I tried with a regular folder.  This time I
was able to get it to import PNTG files OK.

Then I got a bit more adventurous and tried a single GIF file.  The
Image Window opened and the file got drawn corectly but when it was
finished ALL ImageCatalog's windows closed and I got an alert box saying
the program had aborted due to system 7!

I realize the information's a bit thin but first I wanted to establish
whether these problems are already known and whether you're still
working on the program.  If so I can do more tests and provide more
deatailed results.

Does anyone have any information on this program or any other which offers
similar functionality?  Perhaps someone knows where Tom is hiding?
