- What is SortData?
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-
- Sort_Data simply SORTS the data file used by SLAM/SL. It makes DELETING
- a specific Alias/Real name much easier.

- Using SORTDATA:
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- There really is no setup for SortData. Simply BACK-UP your Alias.Def
- file and then run SORTDATA.EXE in the directory where the file resides.
- A message will inform you when the process is complete.
-
- ***********************************************************
- * Always back-up your ALIAS.DEF file before running this *
- * utility. This can be said for ANY utility which *
- * modifies data files. *
- ***********************************************************
- That's it! Simple eh?

- for any damage that may occur to your computer hardware or software while

- A Word About 3rd Party-ware:
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Over the last couple of years, I have noticed more and more authors
- DEMANDING payment for programs they create. While I understand the work put
- into these BBS 'helpers' I am distressed by the fact that BBS operators
- should have to CONTINUOUSLY and NEVER-ENDINGLY pay for these utilities.
- That's why I choose to write FREE-WARE. I support the idea of a bbs, where
- utilities and programs are shared. Bbs operators are an amateur group
- of hobbyists and I don't believe a BBS operator should have to continuously
- pay for a hobby he/she already pays enough for. The BBS operator is a fine
- species..One who allows people he/she doesn't even know to gain access to
- their system, out of the goodness of his/her heart. I ask all you authors
- who are so valuable to the Searchlight community to join me in providing
- all our fellow SL sysops with quality FREE-WARE. Donate some of your time
- and expertise to the cause...It'll make the BBS community a much better
- place!
