**** PLEASE READ CHANGE NOTICES BEFORE USING.
This is a simple Text file sort program designed to work with
Simplex BBS Software. Its Only real function in life is to put
Your "FILES.BBS" files into Alphabetical order. (I guess HPFS has
spoiled me) This program does not actually modify your .BBS file.
It rather, creates a file called SORTED.TXT which should be copied
over the desired .BBS file. To invoke this program use :
SimpSort [FILENAME.EXT]
Example: Simpsort D:\Data\Comm\Files.bbs
This Sort Routine only acts upon file names & descriptions NOT
stationary lines ( Lines that start w/ "*,-, ,?" ) so if you have
Stationary lines in your file listings the file names between these
lines appear as one sort group.
This program assumes that the filenames contained in your .BBS file.
reside in the same directory with it. This program also places the
resulting SORTED.TXT in the same directory w/ your .BBS file.
If you have any problems pls leave me a message.
Thanx,

NOTE: There is now a /v switch which will verify the existence of
the files listed in you're .BBS file.( normally shown as - missing -)
When used, files that do not exist will not be included in the SORTED.TXT
file that is created.
03/18/91 - Fixed Problem w/ Sorting of empty lines. Now lines that only
contain a <CR> are counted as stationary.
- Added Better drive and path handling.
- Program Now Immediatly renames the ".BBS" file to ".BAK" and
creates a new ".BBS" file.
- Corrected a problem with "/V" option that sometimes caused
a system error trap 13.
