- ReadMe for AScanSort : E.W.Ayers : 11th March 1993
-
- This program was written for a special purpose - to
- keep tabs on a large ArcScan file of mine called
- 'Programs'. This records the programs I have available
- with brief access and operating details. AScanSort
- will display the TITLE LINES only of a whole file,
- useful for checking whether a program has been entered
- etc.
-
- There are options for Printout, and for display
- in either file order or sorted (by a fast machine
- code routine). The display is very dense, in three
- columns in MODE 16, as there are a lot of entries
- to show.
-
- The program is otherwise in BASIC, and makes no
- pretence to WIMPhood. It works for other ArcScan
- files, but is perhaps of doubtful use for the
- normal Magazine and Disc index files.
-
- One word of warning - if like me you have set your
- Monitor Type to a non-RISC OS style (Mine is Type
- 4 - SVGA) to suit some of the enhanced screen
- modes, you may find you can't use MODE 16. You can
- change the MODE statement at the start of the
- program to any other with enough characters per
- line. I use Atomwide's MODE 106.
