  20. ACSORT sorts data files which have fixed-length records and fixed-length
  21. fields.  The output file will be a list of record numbers (an index to  
  22. the data file in sorted order).  The index itself can be read as either 
  23. a sequential file or a random file with a record length of 12.  The data
  24. file being sorted may be of any reasonable size.                        
  25.                                                                         
  26. You may sort data of any type commonly used in any Microsoft language.  
  27. Other sorts may have some difficulties with Microsoft random files, even
  28. appending unwanted control characters or additional records or pointers 
  29. to the file output.  ACSORT will not.  ACSORT will not sort sequential  
  30. data files, it is only intended for use with true random files.  For    
  31. that reason, it will NOT sort dBase data files.                         
  32.                                                                         
  33. EDFIX2 is a program that will read, edit, write, and transfer           
  34. random-access files up to two billion bytes, with each record being as  
  35. much as 2048 bytes long.  EDFIX2 will work on any file, even if the file
  36. is not truly a random-access file.  EDFIX2 can manipulate dBase data    
  37. files--except that EDFIX2 records will probably not match up with dBase 
  38. records.  You may also use EDFIX2 on spreadsheet files and files created
  39. by various other software packages.                                     
  40.                                                                         
  41. QB4CREF is a cross-reference program for Quick BASIC programs.  It will 
  42. cross-reference even interpreted BASIC (GWBASIC) programs
