These BIN files allow you to do "true" dictionary sort while
inside dBASE IV. Dictionary sorts places numbers at the end of the
file and lower case letters first (the reverse order of ASCII).
The various bin files are called via the CALL() which can be
used in the INDEX ON statement. Run the STRDCT.PRG to see
a demonstration of the various ways to sort the data. If you
want to use the bin files it is important that your index
expression includes a + "" or the bin files will permanently
encrypt your data - follow the examples and no problem.
