PSRT - Packet filter & sorter...
Requires 386sx or greater - Requires 1
meg of extended/ems/dpmi/vcpi/whatever
memory (more memory provides better
sorting, ideally, 3-3.5 megs :-) -
Requires DOS4GW.EXE, a special dos
extender for Watcom C++ applications -
Disk space: Lots. See below for a
better answer. - Reads and combines .PKT
files into one large .PKT file (multiple
.PKTS if from multiple sources; the PKT
headers themselves are preserved for
security). - Reads according to .PKT
file time/date stamp order (ie, older
packets will be processed first, then
the newer ones). - Sorts by area,
subject, date, and time, up to the
limits of memory (ie, the more memory
you have, the more that can be
contiguously sorted) - If AREAS.BBS
found (standard AREAS.BBS format), it
will be read, and _only_ the areas found
in AREAS.BBS will be kept. Useful if
you get the entire backbone but only
need a portion of it, ie satellite
feeds.
