you which disk(s) contains the filename(s) you are looking for.

Simply put, DBS-KAT requires that you physically label all your disks
starting with the label 0001 up through 9999 and that you stack your
disks sequentially in numeric order.  Now insert all of your disks
into your disk drive and let DBS-KAT ``look'' at each one of your
diskettes.  Its records each files vital inforamtion. By doing this,
DBS-KAT can always tell you quickly where something is you want.
