ReadMe for AScanSort : E.W.Ayers : 11th March 1993
This program was written for a special purpose - to
keep tabs on a large ArcScan file of mine called
'Programs'. This records the programs I have available
with brief access and operating details. AScanSort
will display the TITLE LINES only of a whole file,
useful for checking whether a program has been entered
etc.
There are options for Printout, and for display
in either file order or sorted (by a fast machine
code routine). The display is very dense, in three
columns in MODE 16, as there are a lot of entries
to show.
The program is otherwise in BASIC, and makes no
pretence to WIMPhood. It works for other ArcScan
files, but is perhaps of doubtful use for the
normal Magazine and Disc index files.
One word of warning - if like me you have set your
Monitor Type to a non-RISC OS style (Mine is Type
4 - SVGA) to suit some of the enhanced screen
modes, you may find you can't use MODE 16. You can
change the MODE statement at the start of the
program to any other with enough characters per
line. I use Atomwide's MODE 106.
