Abstract

Describes the advantages and disadvantages of a program information file (PIF) for the DOS CAT ME Plus (Cataloging Micro Enhancer) in an MS Windows microcomputer. Examines the literature in this area and goes on to describe the experience at the University of California, Riverside. Discusses the limitations of the system but concludes that the PIF system is well worth installing.
