Sortfile version 2.0 By Jim Black ( A QuickBBS File sorting utility)
Sortfile is a quick and easy utility that does just that (Sorts the file
listings). It has no command line parameters - Just simply run it from
your QuickBBS directory, and it will sort all your file areas specified
in your FLSEARCH.CTL file. This is an update of the old ver 1.0. The
only change made to the program was the added support for comments. Now
When a comment is found (line begining with a dash '-' or space ' '), the
block of files between the comment and the next are sorted and comments
are left where they are. This was a simple 10 minute at the most
enhancement, but it was needed to be compatable with the new QFE ver 2.0
coming out which also supports comments. Also, the old utility Makeraw
has been updated to 2.0 to support comments as well. I have tested this
utility on my system with as many different combinations of comments and
files arranged in every way possible and found no problems, however, you
take full responsibility for whatever happens. The code all checks out
and is strait forward, so I seriously doubt any bugs will creep up. If
you have a 'special' version of this program that you need, feel free to
let me know what you want and maybe I will add it in for ya!
LIMITATIONS: The only limitations to the program are that there be no
more than 100 file areas and no more than 500 files in any area. If there
are more than 500 files in one area, that area will be skipped with no
problems. If you do have an area with more than 500 files, I would
recomend spliting that area into two, not only because I write my file
utilities to handle up to 500 files, but because I wouldn't want to be the
one to read through that many files at once! I hope you have a use for
this program. Feel free to send any comments my way: Jim Black
