Re: V7R1 (7.1) discs

As I understand it, the program uses the image catalog to determine what 
directory to use, so I think you need the image catalog and the 
directory where the files are to agree, and the image catalog needs to 
be created.

I have not looked at the API description so there might be more options 
since V7 and TR5, but I doubt it.
