IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that we are no longer accepting credit
cards for payment. We are now exclusively using PAYPAL for all purchases,
which actually gives our customers more flexibility, as you can use
virtually any credit card with them and it is safe and secure.
The reason for this change is that we have simply been receiving too
many purchases lately where the customer has given fraudulent credit
card information. We'd ship the product or provide the registrastion
codes only to get a chargeback a couple of days later.
We apologize for any inconveniences with the hope that our customers
understand our dilema.

6 January 2004 - IMPORTANT!!!
Courtesy of several of our valued customers, we are now aware of hacked
versions of Catdisk 2003 on several web sites that have been modified
to contain malicious code that cause damage to your system. To date,
we have seen three variations so far that range from corrupting your
catalog data to corrupting other data and system information on your
hard drive, which could lead to the necessity to reinstall your system
from scratch.
To date, have not been able to ascertain exactly what triggers the
destructive code, but suffice it to say that you are at risk if you
are using a hacked version of Catdisk.
If you have an unregistered version of Catdisk on your system that
does not show a registration reminder screen upon startup, you may well
have one of these variants. It would, of course, be prudent to erase
that version and download the official release from our website.

Recent changes that we made to our internet setup caused our web site

now and look to be operating normally.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused anyone.
