# Super Disk Utility

Most cataloguing methods applied to collections of items, be they books or chapters in a book, involve relatively complex indexing techniques such as alternating between numerals (Arabic or Roman) and alphabetical characters. On the other hand, it is generally simpler, and often preferable, to use a straightforward numerical order when dealing with collections of closely similar objects such as phonograph records. Thus it is that, what would seem at first to be a major shortcoming of this highly useful program, is actually a blessing in disguise.
