INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DOWNLOAD
- Please create in your own PC a briefcase in which you will manage the catalog (we normally use the name WWMCAT, acronym of World Wide Malacological CATalog).
- You unload and save the files on your hard disk (they are all compressed ones in format .zip)
- Decompress them (unzip) remembering to point out the briefcase that you created for the decompression.
- If you want you can create a connection on the desktop to the file wwmcat.htm, otherwise you launch the program with a double click on this file and it initiates itself.

As to Use The Catalog
- You can now fill the catalog with your photos that will now all be in format JPEG (.jpg) remembering that the catalog is organized in classes and families.
- To find the briefcase where you wish to insert a photo you open the catalog to the class of affiliation (for example Gastropoda) and you use the function of search of your web browser
For Internet Explorer: Change, Find in the current page and write in the search box the name of the type of shell, when you find it, you go up again upwards to identify the family of affiliation: this will be the name of the briefcase in which you insert your photo.
- You now open with a click the family you have found and in the window that will appear you look for, flowing with the mouse or with the function of search (Change, Finds), the complete name of your shell: this will be the name that you will have to give the photo. The name must be writing always in lower case letters.

EXAMPLE:
photo of Gibbula adansoni
1. open as already said WWMCAT.htm and open with a click on the icon the class GASTROPODA
2. on the bar menu , open with a click Modifies and then look
3. to insert in the field of search Gibbula and start look for
4. go up again upward up to the first Familia that is Trochidae and open her/it with a click
5. look for flowing or with Change, it Finds the name gibbula adansoni and you exactly check as you/he/she is written
6. to rename therefore our photo as "gibbula adansonii adansonii.jpg" (you notice that there is a space between the name kinds, while. jpg is written attached to the kind
in this case we have found that the name adansoni has to be correct in adansonii and that the varieties adansonii adansonii and adansonii sulliottiis exist, you have to choose what the correct name is for your photo.
7. you then copy the photo renamed briefcase TROCHIDAE that is found in the briefcase GASTROPODA
8. you can now enter in the catalog and see that opening the family TROCHIDAE the image of the Gibbula adansonii adansonii in a dimension of 200 xes 200 pixels will appear
9. If you click on the image it will appear in its real dimension in pixel (the usual size of your digital camera or of the original photo unloaded by internet)

WARNING:
we have used this example because the class of the GASTROPODAs is a class with more families and that of the TROCHIDAEs is one of the greatest (1259 kinds). This will also allow you to see if your PC is able to manage pages so large in internet.

ENJOY!!
