A rework of PCPLSRT by Ed GAlle for PROCOMM PLUS.
Just run PCPSRTNO.EXE to sort PCPLUS.DIR or to enter the .DIR name to sort.
Run PCPLUSRT [d:][path\]filename.DIR to avoid the instruction screen.
filename.DIR must be a valid PROCOMM PLUS .DIR file (15050 bytes).
It DOES NOT work on PROCOMM 2.4.2 directories.
If you use it while SHELLed out from PCPLUS, be sure to Xchange DIRs twice
to load the new sorted version.
PCPSRTNO sorts by phone number in ascending order, placing blank entries at
the end. The original directory file will be renamed with the extension .OLD.
The sort field is the whole 20-byte number.
To rebuild the executable, do a stand-alone .EXE compile from the QB menu, or
see the included PCP-CMPL.BAT (NOCOM makes the .EXE about 5K shorter)
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
