PMMASort v.1.0. PMMail Addressbook Sorter (for PMMail v.1.9x)
Copyright (c) 1997 Gyan Scott Penrose-Kafka (spk@ibm.net)
PMMASort is E:MailWare, which means, if you use this program, please
send me an e:mail (at spk@ibm.net) to let me know.

See end of document for revision history.

I wrote PMMASort because I got tired of PMMail not sorting the address book
for the pop-up address book. It is a simple little program which will allow
you so sort your address book by either the alias field or the name field.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
NOTICE: You may run PMMASort while PMMail is running,
but you must exit and restart PMMail before
the new sort order will take effect.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
PMMASort is a command line utility, however, if you put the parameters into
a WPS program object, you can run it from the WPS. PMMASort will backup the
original ADDR.DB file to ADDR.DB.BAK.
Usage: PMMASORT x:\path\ADDR.DB name/alias [fat]
(put the word "fat" as the third option if you are running this program from a
fat partition.)
To Sort by name:
PMMASort h:\apps\southsde\tools\addr.db name
To Sort by alias:
PMMASort h:\apps\southsde\tools\addr.db alias
You should run this program periodically in order to make sure that your
pop-up address books always have the new entries in alphabetical order.
Hopefully, in the near future PMMail will keep the address book datatbase
sorted rather than just sticking newly added addresses at the end of the
database. But until that happens, use PMMASort.

Revision History
*********************************************
v1.0ß2
FIX: Solved a problem caused by incorrect compiler settings.
ADD: Better memory management.
v1.0ß3
CHG: New syntax for command line.
Output file no long needed on command line.
Usage: PMMASORT x:\path\ADDR.DB name/alias
ADD: Original ADDR.DB file backed up to ADDR.DB.bak
and sorted file saved as ADDR.DB.
ADD: Progress monitors.
ADD: Error testing.
v1.0ß4
FIX: Bug when address book entry contained extended information beyond
the name/e:mail address/alias info, (especially notes that had
CR/LF in them), and which had addresses following it in the
database. Unfortunately, this bug was corrupting the address
book.
CHG: Now using different methodology to back up the input file which
is faster than previous method as well as preserves date and time
on the backed up file.
v1.0 (GA)
ADD: Program Icon. Thanks to Gerard Pinkas for being so creative.
CHG: Minor cosmetic changes on error messages.
v1.01 (GA)
FIX: Now works properly on FAT partitions (with the inclusion of the
"fat" option on the command line.)
