SortUser v1.2
(C)opyright 1993, William J. Dykstra
A RemoteAccess 2.00.x UserFile Sorting Utility
SortUser is a little utility that will allow you to sort your RA 2.00 userfile
in several different ways. You may sort by:
User's Name
User's Handle (Alias)
User's Location
Number of Calls
Number of Messages Posted
Number of Downloads
Number of Uploads
Amount of Downloads (KB)
Amount of Uploads (KB)
Whats new?
Version 1.2 now sorts LASTREAD.BBS. I have never worked with the last
read pointers before, but it turns out that the last read pointers are
referenced according to a user's NUMBER, NOT the user's name!!! When
the userfile is sorted, the user names get moved, so the user numbers
are changed. This caused the last read pointers to be messed up.
Version 1.2 now sorts the last read pointers with the userfile.
I hope it works... :)
Version 1.1a fixes a teeny tiny bug that was in 1.1... it didn't work.
Version 1.1 now stores the path to USERS.BBS within the program itself.
You do NOT have to pass the path to USERS.BBS on the command line
anymore.
When sorting by the user's name, the FIRST space in the user's name is assumed
to be the separator between the first and last name. The first and last names
will be REVERSED, and sorting will be done by LAST name.
For example:
Bill Dykstra would become Dykstra Bill
Bill J. Dykstra would become J. Dykstra Bill
I know this may cause a few problems, but I have to separate the names
somewhere, and for MOST users the first space is the proper place for this
separation.
The Name, Handle and location fields are sorted alphabetically, in ascending
order. The other fields are sorted in numeric order, in DESCENDING order.
(Descending order is used so that users with the MOST calls/downloads/etc
will be listed first.)
NOTE: RECORD #0 (the sysop record) will NEVER be sorted! Record #0 will
always remain the first record.
Using the program:
SORTUSER option
OPTION is one of these valid options:
NAME
HANDLE
LOCATION
CALLS
MESSAGES
DOWNLOADS
DOWNLOADK
UPLOADS
UPLOADK
Examples:
SORTUSER NAME - Sort USERS.BBS by Name
SORTUSER CALLS - Sort USERS.BBS by # of Calls
Use SORTUSER /C to configure the path to USERS.BBS.
That's all there is to it!
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ After running SortUser, be SURE to run RAUSER -P to pack the userfile! │
│ This will rebuild the user index files. │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DISCLAIMER:
I make no warranties of any kind on this software. It works great for me,
but it might not work for you! BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR USERFILE!
If this thing trashes your userfile its YOUR problem! I will not be held
responsible.
This program is FREEWARE. Source code (Borland Pascal) MAY be available
