The NAQ - 8 never asked questions
---------------------------------
* Alta Lista??? What's that?

It's a picture and html document database for CAB. It uses the
html commands to sort your files.

* For what can I use Alta Lista?

You can make a list of all your html files in a specific directory.
With Alta Lista you'll always know what title the page has,
what it's about and how long it is.
Another reason are the graphic CDs. Alta Lista can make a list of
all GIF and JPEGS and will show them in a shrinkened version on
one page.

* How can I start Alta Lista?

Double-click on the program icon or rename it to ALTA_LST.ACC and
copy it on your boot partition.

* Where are the dialogs?

There are no dialogs. A full integration in GEM would make the program
30 KB longer, so I decided to use only two fileselectors and an
alert box. 

* Alta Lista has problems with its file selectors!

Well, this version not

* I don't want to make a list of all files in a directory.  What  can  I
  do?

Use Selectric (or a compatible file selector) and select the  files  you
want in your list. Alta Lista is now Selectric compatible!

* Alta Lista seems to be very slow.

Alta Lista needs to remove the HTML instructions from the files  to  get
the pure text for the description file 'alta_d.htm'.

* Why is this program called Alta Lista?

Why not?
