  10. PARASORT will copy, sort and merge your ASCII OR dBASE files easily and 
  11. quickly.  Since most databases can export to ASCII, these files can also
  12. be sorted with PARASORT.  It can use complex record selection criteria, 
  13. including record and byte position on input and/or output, to select    
  14. which records it will sort and merge.  A special dBASE III interface    
  15. enhances the program.

  18. time, 20 fields per page.  Specify which fields are key and in which    
  19. sequence and then choose the sorting order of each field.  PARASORT can 
  20. reformat the input file as it is read, skipping and limiting the input  
  21. and/or output records including or excluding dBASE header records.  It  
  22. will write the output records to one or more output files, formatting it
  23. as you wish.                                                            
  24.                                                                         
  25. Sort on ascending, descending and absolute values of keys.  Convert     
  26. fixed length records to variable length records and back again.         
  27. PARASORT can eliminate duplicates or place them in an expected order,   
  28. first, last, or don't care.
