Sort is a DLL that works hand-in-hand with CodeWright for Windows, the Programmers
Editor.  This DLL is not free, it is being marketed as shareware.  Look at the Order Form
in the on-line help (SORT.HLP) to  see about registering your copy.  When you register
your copy, you will get a copy of  the newest version of Sort and will be put on the
mailing list for newer versions.  It is also your chance to get your two cents in and
tell me what features you would like to see in Sort.  The on-line help file is the sole
documentation for Sort.

You should do one (or more) of the following with Sort.

o Put Sort.DLL in your CWRIGHT.INI files [LibPreLoad] section like so:

[LibPreLoad]
LibPreload=sort.dll

o Hit F10 and type "sort".

o Assign Sort to a key using the Key Bindings dialog (instructions on using this
    dialog can be found in Chapter 10 of your CodeWright 3.0 users manual).

o Create an icon on the Tool Bar or the Side bar that calls Sort.  You will find
    a bitmap thoughtfully contained in the DLL that you can use for this purpose
    (instructions on adding icons can be found in Chapter 12 under Ribbon Editor
    in your CodeWright 3.0 users manual).


For more information on the use and abuse of the sorting DLL see the on-line help file.
You can either hit the help button once you have started SORT, or you can double-click
on the SORT.HLP file from File Manager.  You can also find tech support information in
the help file.

The newest version of SORT is always available on my web pages at
http://www.primenet.com/~sgartner (info also in the HLP file) and in
the Premia web site at www.premia.com.

NOTE: As of 6/97 Sort 1.20 has been thoroughly tested with Codewright 32, version 5.0b
      and appears to work properly.

NEW FEATURES IN 1.20 (dated 3/31/96):

o   32-bit version.  The 32-bit version that was being distributed before
    was put together by Premia.  This one fixes some of the bugs from
    that version.  It has no new features.

o   Other minor bugs fixed.

NEW FEATURES IN 1.11 (dated 1/29/95):

o   The sort has been tweaked a little and will be faster on large datasets (hopefully).
    Tabs are handled better as well.

o   There is now a Codewright Fusion version SORT_V.DLL in the package.

o   The help file has been reworked and is more professional looking (or at least I think
    so, your comments are, as always, appreciated).

o   Various minor bug fixes.

NEW FEATURES IN 1.10:

o   The sort is quite a bit faster using a modified quick sort.

o   Sort now properly handles tabs in the data.  However, since processing these
    slows the sort down some I put a check box on the dialog to allow you to turn
    it off (presumably if the data has no tabs), I don't use them and that's why the
    first version was missing this important feature.

o   Various bugs fixed.
