Pathmaker Catalog A Pathmaker catalog is a special group of files used to store information about a
Pathmaker application.
A Pathmaker catalog is created when a Pathmaker project is created. In general, a
single Pathmaker project results in a single Pathmaker application. (Pathmaker
projects are explained in more detail later in this section.)
