The system comes from Demon Systems custom software work.  The file
indexing method used was C-Tree and the data files had the extension ctd
and the index files cti.  To make backup easier, other files such as
printer definition and colur config files were given the extension ctx.
Thus under DOS you backed up *.ct?.

I can't remember if its possible to override it.  You could try
/cfilename as a switch call to dis.exe.  If you mail me
@walm.demon.co.uk I could check it out.  Unfortunately I am not in a
position to alter the program though.
