GTKTALOG PORTS
==============
See the README.* files in the Docs directory.

NOTE ABOUT OLDER CATALOG FORMATS
================================
There are currently 3 catalog formats:
- catalog2 and older ones. There were used until gtktalog-0.0.18
- catalog3. Used in gtktalog-0.1.0 until 0.9.3
- catalog4. Used in gtktalog-0.10.1 and after.

The default is that gtktalog can only read the last catalog format.
To be able to read an older format, compile gtktalog this way:
./configure --enable-catalogX  (where X is 2 or 3)
make
(be root here) make install
WARNING: catalog2 and catalog3 are not supported since 0.99.8.


NOTE ABOUT NCATALOG
===================
NCatalog (until 0.0.3) can only read catalog2 format. So NCatalog is
incompatible with GTKtalog because GTKtalog cannot save such catalogs (except
for version 0.0.18 and older).
