The program and several test
datasets are in a zipped folder here:
CAT download
Right-click the link to the left and select Save Link As" and save the file
to your desktop. The file is 6MB, so you probably want to be connected to a
fairly quick connection.
If you only want the most recent CAT.exe
file, click here:
CAT.exe dowload
To install:
Download the zipped folder to your desktop:
1) Create
a directory called C:\Program Files\CAT
. You can best do this by clicking on
“My computer” (or whatever you’ve named your computer) then “C:” then “Program Files.” From
the top bar, select “File-New-Folder”. Re-name
the new folder “CAT
”
2) The
“Cat Installation Folder” on the desktop is a zipped folder. Double-click
on it and a sub-folder of the same name appears. Double-click
on that folder and several files appear, Cat.exe and several tournament data files
with a .mdb extension. From the left-hand
menu select “extract all files.” Follow
the wizard and the default will be to create the extracted folder on your desktop. Open
the extracted folder. Again,
there is a subdirectory of the same name, and again click on it.
3) Load
the Cat.exe file from the zipped folder on the desktop to the C:\program files\Cat
folder. To do this: Right-click
on the Cat.exe folder and select “copy.” Minimize
the folder and navigate back to the newly created “C:\program files\CAT
” folder. Open the
CAT
folder, and select “Edit-Paste”. The
cat.exe program should appear in the new directory.
4) Copy
the TourneyData.mdb file from the zipped folder to the C: directory. Return
the to extracted “Cat Installation folder” folder on the desktop, and this time right-click
on the “TourneyData.exe” file, and select “copy.” Navigate
back to the C: folder. Select “Edit-Paste”. The
file will now be in the C: folder. Make
sure it is NOT in any folder or subdirectory, but just sitting on the C: drive.
Note: The program file can run from anywhere. The
data file is always c:\TourneyData.mdb. You
can use the various datasets included here by copying them to the c:\TourneyData.mdb
location.
You will need to know the tournament number
for your tournament. It appears on the
main menu screen just after the tournament name (see below).
To run: Click on the program c:\program
files\cat\cat.exe. It should launch and
read “CSUF Winter tournament (Kathryn Klassic) (187)”
