Short: V1.11 - Bugfix - Sorts ASCII-lists Author: shark@nwn.de (Andreas Etzrodt) Uploader: shark@nwn.de (Andreas Etzrodt) Type: text/misc This program sorts ASCII-lists with up to 10.000 items. The features: - sorts files with up to 10.000 items - *very* easy to use (WB-Version with ASL-Requestor, CLI-version with only two arguments) - deletes blank characters - deletes blank lines - can print the destination-file on the printer (with or without line-numbers!) - very fast (at <1000 items) The negative "features": - very slow (at >1000 items - but I'm working on it) How to use: SHARKsoft-WB can be run by double-clicking its icon. It's so simple to use that I don't want to write a doc. SHARKsoft (the CLI-version) needs two arguments: sharksoft eg. sharksoft s:user-startup ram:sorted-startup Yes, it's really THAT simple... New in 1.11: - a very bad bug was removed. I'm very sorry that I have released SHARKsort in such a state (it crashed the system). I hope this will never happen again. It worked fine (as it should) but AFTER saving the file it crashed. This bug only appeared in the CLI- version and has been fixed. - some corrections in the Readme. New in 1.1: - optimized the way how SHARKsort deletes characters and lines (in 1.0 it used two passes - now it's only one pass) - added a CLI-version. The CLI-version cannot print a file on the printer. Also it doesn't use ASL-requestors. Instead you have to pass two arguments: "inputfile" and "outputfile". !!! C A R D W A R E !!!
