- PCPLUSRT - PROCOMM+ Dialing Directory Sort Utility V1.0
- (c) 1988 Software Associates
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Just a little program to sort your new PROCOMM+ dialing directories.
- I've also included the QuickBASIC 4.0 source code for you.
-
- Usage:
- PCPLUSRT <directory file>
- where:
- <directory file> is the name of a valid PROCOMM PLUS directory
- file (.DIR, 15050 bytes). This program DOES
- NOT work on PROCOMM 2.4.2 directories.
-
- PCPLUSRT will sort the directory NAMES in ascending order, placing all
- blank entries at the end. The original directory file will be kept
- with the extension .OLD.
-
- If you modify the QuickBASIC source, please indicate as such before you
- redistribute it. To rebuild the executable:
-
- BC /O /E PCPLUSRT;
-
- LINK /NOE /E PCPLUSRT+NOCOM,PCPLUSRT;
- (NOCOM.OBJ is supplied by Microsoft)
- ****************************************************************************
- I found what seems to be a bug in PROCOMM+ version 1.0. If you have a large
- number of environment variables set, PROCOMM cannot execute any external
- programs (SETUP, SHELL, PCEDIT, etc.). It gives you a "EXTERNAL PROGRAM
- ERROR: Not enough memory available." After many hours playing with the size
- of my DOS (3.3) environment table, I have not yet found a way of correcting
- the problem short of deleting most of my environment.
-
- Until DataStorm gets this fixed, I am sandwiching two batch files around
- the invocation of PROCOMM+:
-
- C:>DELENV
- C:>PCPLUS
- C:>SETENV
-
- DELENV and SETENV are batch files that erase and restore my environment
- variables using the SET statement. For example:
-
- DELENV might be:
-
- SET TMP=
- SET ARCTMP=
- SET INCLUDE=
- SET LIB=
-
- then SETEVN is:
-
- SET TMP=F:\
- SET ARCTMP=F:\
- SET INCLUDE=D:\MSC\INCLUDE
- SET LIB=D:\MSC\LIB
-
- Be sure that you DO NOT include your PCPLUS environment variable in these
- batch files, as PROCOMM+ will need it. This will "fix" the problem.
