LSTMGT.BAT Dean R. Lambe

----------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Phone-List Management Made Quick and Easy
Batch files that create alphabetical phone lists
and get information from them fast.
Purpose: MAKELIST.BAT does three things: It provides a
template for entering names and phone numbers,
it creates and lets you add to a text file that
lists phone numbers, and it sorts the list into
alphabetical order.
Comments: Requires DOS programs SORT, FIND, and MORE.
Usage: To start compiling a list, type MAKELIST. The
batch file provides a template for entering names
and numbers, so align your cursor with the line
that appears at the top of the screen. Use periods
to separate names from numbers, and press Enter at
the end of each line. Lines do not wrap. When you
have finished entering your list, press Enter, F6
or Ctrl-Z, and Enter to complete the operation.
Additional Two accompanying batch files for this system allow
Comments: you to perform more functions.
GETME.BAT will display your entire sorted list, one
screen at a time. If you provide a name, the program
invokes DOS's FIND which will list every occurrence
of the name you enter. Searches are case-sensitive.
FIXLIST.BAT is a program that will help you keep
the list you created with MAKELIST clean. It will
invoke FIND's /V switch and will take the contents
of your LST.TXT file--except the text you mention--
into a temporary file, which will then be resorted
and renamed to a new LST.TXT (overwriting your old
file). Use this program with care.
