Help for Sorter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purpose
~~~~~~~
Group menu name sorter for Mr.Clippy. Sorts the names in the Group menu into
alphabetical order.
WARNING
~~~~~~~
This is a stand-alone program which should be run when one or more new groups
have been added to Mr.Clippy, but ONLY after Mr.Clippy has been Quitted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DO NOT run this program while Mr.Clippy is active; the result could be chaos.
Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will need to change the path definitions in lines 18, 19, 20 and 21 to
suit your own installation of Mr.Clippy. Only the parts which read
ADFS::IDEDisk4.$.Temp
will need changing.
If you are not using ADFS, change the ADFS part to match your filing system,
e.g. to SCSIFS, IZipFS, etc.
You will probably have to change the IDEDisk4 part to match the name of the
drive you are running Mr.Clippy from, e.g. to HardDisk, IDEDisc4, SCSI2, etc.
The dollar sign will probably remain unchanged.
The Temp part should be changed to whatever subdirectory (if any) you have
installed Mr.Clippy into, e.g. Info, Pictures, MyClips, etc. If you run
Mr.Clippy from the drive's root directory, then this bit should be removed
altogether.
Don't forget the dots between each part of the pathname. Change one line at
a time, and compare it carefully with an unchanged line until you are sure
the syntax is correct.
Sorry about all this, but I only wrote it as a quick fix to implement a big
improvement to Mr.Clippy. If somebody wants to put a nice WIMP front-end on
it (drag the whole Mr.Clippy application to it), please feel free. Perhaps
Mr.iSV will build this feature into the next version of Mr.Clippy, making
this program obsolete. That would be even better, now, where did I put that
registration card for free user upgrades?
Thanks and donations always gratefully received. I am

Oh, by the way, in the unlikely event that this program causes any problems
at all, please don't hold me responsible. Because I'm not. Usual disclaimers,
etc, etc.
