- ─────WELCOME─TO─PACKSORT──────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- Hi everyone. How's life ?
-
- Ok, here we go again, with one little, simple, Quickbbs 2.75
- utility. Remember the first time you sorted your USERS.BBS ? What a
- surprise to find out that, if you used USERSORT.EXE, it was sorted by
- FIRSTNAME ! And just to add to the sinking feeling of <What's wrong
- here!>, you had to use another utility to pack your USERS.BBS. Those
- days are over, now that PackSort 2.1 is here. It will do both, Pack
- and Sort by first or last names, from <A to Z> or from <Z to A>. It
- will also delete old users. And while doing so, it will let you know
- exactly what's going on... As an added bonus, an optional sorted ASCII
- file of all your users will be generated, under the name USERLIST.TXT.
- You could ZIP that file an make it available for download !
-
- This treasure of a program is, as always, completely free. It
- does not requier any kind of registration. You cannot however modify
- in any way the original archive or files. If you do, a spell will be
- cast upon you, that will alter the behavior of the McFee's virus
- scanner. As a result, it will no longer search for 751 viruses, but
- instead will toss every one of them into your system... Say, you
- wouln't want that, wouln't you ? ( And, yes of course it's a joke ! )
-
- I do not offer any kind of warranty. If you ever decide to use
- PackSort, well, you do it on your own. If it breaks anything, you can
- keep the broken parts. If that makes you feel any better, I've been
- using it for the past 2 months without any damage to my USERS.BBS file.
- ;-)
-
-
- *** IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS ***
-
- Seriously, there's NO way the program can trash your USERS.BBS,
- because it DOESN'T USE IT ! First, it makes a copy of the file, not
- just a <RENAME>. And it uses that backup as a work file. In the end,
- AFTER the new packed and sorted user file is succesfully written to
- disk, the work file is erased, and your untouched original USERS.BBS is
- renamed to USERS.BAK. So, you can be assured that ABSOLUTLY NOTHING
- can make your USERS.BBS vanish from your hard drive.

- ─────HOW─TO─GET─THIS─THING─RUNNING────────────────────────────────
-
-
- As a fellow SysOp, I know that a short and sweet documentation is
- necessary to our mental health. Again, a recent scientific study has
- shown that 9 out of 10 SysOps try to use a program without reading the
- docs... Please read on, it's for your own good !
-
- Simply run PACKSORT.EXE from your Quickbbs directory. For a list
- of all command line parameters available, simply run PACKSORT ?.
