- Move category code from catalog/index.php to includes/application_top.php so category name is always available rather than just category description
- Fix typos in install.txt

Again a very small bugfix in teh install instruction to prevent using the wrong files! (Changed general.php, because it was described as the catalog/includes file, should be catalog/admin/includes/general.php !)
1.03
I updated this package because there were a few things I didn't like as well as some installation issues.
Updated:
Cateogory Description v1.03 by mightyx:
-modigfied the database entry to a text file, so you can use large descriptions (I use html code in descriptions which ususally uses more space!)
-Fixed the description of the general.php file (was the general file in catalog not in admin as it should be)
-Little modifications to the install file to make installation easier to understand
