- The name Fasort is short for File Areas Sort. It is not short for fast.
- Fasort uses an easy to program bubble sort routine which is not noted for
- speed. However, it's fast enough for the job you'll be using it for.
-
- Fasort.cmd will alphabetize the files listed in your Files.bbs files.
- You can use it 2 different ways.
-
- 1. Create a file called Fasort.cfg which lists the directories in which you
- have a Files.bbs. Put Fasort.cfg in the same directory that Fasort.cmd
- runs from. Fasort.cfg should look something like this:
-
- % Comments must begin with a % character.
- d:\downloads\comms
- d:\downloads\utilities
- d:\downloads\graphics
- % end fasort.cfg.
-
- Each line in Fasort.cfg should be a pathname to a directory, not a pathname
- that ends with a filename. The filename "Files.bbs" is assumed.
-
- All you need on the command line (or in a batch file) is
-
- fasort
-
- with no parameters. Fasort.cmd will read Fasort.cfg and process the
- Files.bbs in each of the directories in the list. You would probably run
- Fasort this way after hurling a number of files out of your uploads
- directory into several different download directories.
-
-
- 2. Run Fasort with a single parameter to alphabetize just a single
- files.bbs. For example
-
- fasort c:\dwnlds\maxutils
-
- will sort the files.bbs in directory c:\dwnlds\maxutils and ignore
- Fasort.cfg entirely.
-
-
- Command Line Switches
- =====================
-
- Fasort will run Fbp.exe after it has finished alphabetizing. To prevent
- Fasort from invoking Fbp use the command line switch "/N" or "/n" after the
- directory parameter (if any). For example:
-
- fasort /N
- fasort d:\files\comms /N
