What is SortData?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Sort_Data simply SORTS the data file used by SLAM/SL. It makes DELETING
a specific Alias/Real name much easier.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Using SORTDATA:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There really is no setup for SortData. Simply BACK-UP your Alias.Def
file and then run SORTDATA.EXE in the directory where the file resides.
A message will inform you when the process is complete.
***********************************************************
* Always back-up your ALIAS.DEF file before running this *
* utility. This can be said for ANY utility which *
* modifies data files. *
***********************************************************
That's it! Simple eh?

While this program may not be completely bug-free, I have done significant
testing to ensure that all MAJOR bugs have been squashed. I do NOT
guarantee that this software will run properly, nor will I be responsible
for any damage that may occur to your computer hardware or software while
using SORTDATA. I feel that SORTDATA is relatively safe to run. All the
safeguards possible have been installed to provide maximum security for your
system and files while SORTDATA is in operation.

A Word About 3rd Party-ware:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Over the last couple of years, I have noticed more and more authors
DEMANDING payment for programs they create. While I understand the work put
into these BBS 'helpers' I am distressed by the fact that BBS operators
should have to CONTINUOUSLY and NEVER-ENDINGLY pay for these utilities.
That's why I choose to write FREE-WARE. I support the idea of a bbs, where
utilities and programs are shared. Bbs operators are an amateur group
of hobbyists and I don't believe a BBS operator should have to continuously
pay for a hobby he/she already pays enough for. The BBS operator is a fine
species..One who allows people he/she doesn't even know to gain access to
their system, out of the goodness of his/her heart. I ask all you authors
who are so valuable to the Searchlight community to join me in providing
all our fellow SL sysops with quality FREE-WARE. Donate some of your time
and expertise to the cause...It'll make the BBS community a much better
place!
