This ZIP file contains a new version of LSRT.EXE, Version 2.22. It
fixes a bug in the earlier version that is distributed in the LSORT
package that would cause only a partial file to be sorted depending on
the file size.
LSRT is a replacement for the DOS or OS2 SORT command. It will sort
files up to 16,364 records that will fit in memory when LSRT is run.
This is approx. 420KB under DOS 5.0. Much more memory memory is
available under OS2.
Run LSRT with no parameters to see help and licensing information.
LSRT22.ZIP also contains a version of LSRT that runs under Microsoft
Windows 3.
It consists of two programs:
LSRTWIN3 -- a Visual Basic front end to LSRT and
LSRTWIN -- a version of LSRT modified to run under Windows that was
created using the QCWIN option of Quick C for Windows.
One version of this .ZIP file also includes VBRUN100.DLL, the DLL
required to run Visual Basic executables. Another version of this
.ZIP file does not contain the .DLL inorder to save space.
To install LSRT for Windows, copy the files LSRTWIN3.EXE, LSRTWIN.EXE
to your WINDOWS directory, usually (C:\WINDOWS). If you do not own
Visual Basic and have not previously downloaded a copy of VBRUN100.DLL,
copy VBRUN100.DLL to your WINDOWS directory. If you did not download
the version of this .ZIP that contains VBRUN100.DLL and you need it,
look for the other version (LSRT22.ZIP).
After all the files have been copied, add the program to an existing
group or create a new group for LSORT. To add LSRT for Windows to a
group, open the group, then click on File then New. A dialog box will
be displayed asking if you wish to create a new Item or new Group.
Click on Program Item to add a new item to the existing group. A
dialog box will be displayed asking for the program description and
command line. Enter "LSRT for Windows" in the description field.
Enter "LSRTWIN3" in the command line field. Click OK. LSRT for
Windows will now be available.
LSRT for Windows will sort text files only. It will sort up to 15
fields per file. Each field can be sorted in ascending or descending
order. It will sort up to 16,364 records subject to available memory.
The suggested registration fee for LSRT has increased to $20, due to
the inclusion of the Windows Version. Source is available to
registered users of LSRT upon request. You will need Microsoft C 5.1
or above to compile LSRT for DOS, and Microsoft C 6.0 to compile LSRT
for OS/2. You will need Microsoft Quick C for Windows and Visual Basic
to compile LSRT for Windows.
