Extended Description:
MERGEFILE will merge two sorted lists with various options available. The
user can select the order (ascending/descending), case sensitivity, and to
keep or remove duplicates. The merge key can be the entire line or any of
the first nine fields, with multiple fields in sequence of priority, e.g.,
merge on the third field, then field seven, followed by five. MERGEFILE
can also detect four types of errors in the input files: blank or empty
line and missing key or field. The package also includes a public domain
version of MERGEFILE with source code. The registration fee is $10, which
obtains the latest version without the registration reminder, its source
code, information on upgrades and new products, a technical support phone
number, and one year of technical support. Support is also provided after
one year and to unregistered users on a time available basis. MERGEFILE
will run with DOS 2.1 and above on an IBM compatible PC. It should also
perform in a DOS window with other operating environments.
