ARJSORT September 1991
ARJSORT.BAT is a batch file provided to give the user the facility to
sort the files in an ARJ archive. ARJSORT allows sorting by file
attribute, CRC value, date-time modified, file extension, filename,
pathname, and compression ratio. The sort order can be set for
ascending or descending order.
Usage: ARJSORT archive [/order] [/r]
Where /order is one of the following:
/a = attribute /o = ratio
/c = crc /p = pathname
/d = date/time /s = size
/e = extension /t = time
/f = filename
[/r]everse, if specified, must be the last option.
ARJSORT has been designed to work at MS-DOS 3.3 and up. The @ECHO
command in ARJSORT.BAT may cause problems with other versions of DOS.
ARJSORT uses the special ARJSORT.$$$ feature of the order command. A
list file named ARJSORT.$$$ is expected to be in a special format by
the order command. That format is produced by the ARJ v -jv1 command.
ARJSORT requires the MS-DOS SORT program to be available for ARJSORT to
work. ARJSORT creates several temporary files named ARJSORT.$$?.
These temporary files will be deleted at the end of the program.
Please note that MS-DOS SORT cannot handle input files larger than 64K
bytes. An input file over 64K in size can happen when sorting an ARJ
archive with a few hundred pathnames. An insufficient memory error
message results when SORT encounters too large of an input file.
The shareware program QSORT by Ben Baker does not have this 64K size
limitation. The QSORT document states that QSORT can directly replace
the MS-DOS SORT program. You can modify ARJSORT.BAT to use the QSORT
program by replacing the command SORT with the command QSORT. All
instances of the command SORT are capitalized. There are two instances
of the word ARJSORT. An easier way would be to delete the MS-DOS
SORT.EXE program and rename QSORT.EXE to SORT.EXE.
ARJSORT Examples:
ARJSORT archive - Sort files in ascending alphabetical pathname
order.
ARJSORT archive /r - Sort files in descending pathname order.
ARJSORT archive /d - Sort files in chronological date-time modified
order.
ARJSORT archive /d /r - Sort files in descending chronological
date-time modified order.
ARJSORT archive /s - Sort files in ascending file size order.
At ARJ release 1.10, ARJSORT.COM (compiled version of ARJSORT.BAT) is
included with the ARJ software. This program can be used in place of
the ARJSORT.BAT. This COM version is better for use in DOS BATCH files
than ARJSORT.BAT.
HISTORY:
2.21 - Added -!! option to "ARJ o" command.
Added -jp- option to stop paging.
Added errorlevel testing for SORT.
Tested QSORT with ARJSORT.
1.21 - Fixed deletion of temporary files.
1.20 - Improved ARJSORT.$$$ processing so that EDLIN is not needed.
1.10 - Added ARJSORT.COM.
