- SortUser v1.2.111
- (C)opyright 1993, William J. Dykstra
- A RemoteAccess 1.11 UserFile Sorting Utility
-
-
- SortUser is a little utility that will allow you to sort your RA 1.11 userfile
- in several different ways. You may sort by:
- User's Name
- User's Location
- Number of Calls
- Number of Messages Posted
- Number of Downloads
- Number of Uploads
- Amount of Downloads (KB)
- Amount of Uploads (KB)
-

- Whats new?
- Version 1.2 and 1.2.111 are IDENTICAL, except 1.2.111 is for RA 1.11,
- while 1.2 is for RA 2.00.
-
- Version 1.2 now sorts LASTREAD.BBS. I have never worked with the last
- read pointers before, but it turns out that the last read pointers are
- referenced according to a user's NUMBER, NOT the user's name!!! When
- the userfile is sorted, the user names get moved, so the user numbers
- are changed. This caused the last read pointers to be messed up.
- Version 1.2 now sorts the last read pointers with the userfile.
- I hope it works... :)
-
- Version 1.1a fixes a teeny tiny bug that was in 1.1... it didn't work.
-
- Version 1.1 now stores the path to USERS.BBS within the program itself.
- You do NOT have to pass the path to USERS.BBS on the command line
- anymore.
-
-
-
- When sorting by the user's name, the FIRST space in the user's name is assumed
- to be the separator between the first and last name. The first and last names
- will be REVERSED, and sorting will be done by LAST name.
-
- For example:
- Bill Dykstra would become Dykstra Bill
- Bill J. Dykstra would become J. Dykstra Bill
-
- I know this may cause a few problems, but I have to separate the names
- somewhere, and for MOST users the first space is the proper place for this
- separation.
-
- The Name and location fields are sorted alphabetically, in ascending
- order. The other fields are sorted in numeric order, in DESCENDING order.
- (Descending order is used so that users with the MOST calls/downloads/etc
- will be listed first.)
-
-
- NOTE: RECORD #0 (the sysop record) will NEVER be sorted! Record #0 will
- always remain the first record.
-
-
- Using the program:
-
- SORTUSER option
-
- OPTION is one of these valid options:
- NAME
- LOCATION
- CALLS
- MESSAGES
- DOWNLOADS
- DOWNLOADK
- UPLOADS

- SORTUSER NAME - Sort USERS.BBS by Name
- SORTUSER CALLS - Sort USERS.BBS by # of Calls
-
-
- Use SORTUSER /C to configure the path to USERS.BBS.
-
-
- That's all there is to it!
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ After running SortUser, be SURE to run RAUSER -P to pack the userfile! │
- │ This will rebuild the user index files. │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- DISCLAIMER:
-
- I make no warranties of any kind on this software. It works great for me,
- but it might not work for you! BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR USERFILE!
- If this thing trashes your userfile its YOUR problem! I will not be held
- responsible.
