- DBSORT 1.0 - 15 November 1993 - Copyright 1993 Michael Geary
-
- DBSORT is a fast database sort program for the Series 3a. (Sorry, it won't
- work on the Series 3.) OPL source code is included.
-
- DBSORT sorts my 400-entry address book in 25 seconds. It could be made even
- a little faster by combining the qsort and strcmp functions, but this would
- make the code less readable.
-
- It sorts the database on the first two fields using a QuickSort algorithm,
- and the sort is case independent.
-
- This version will sort a database of up to 2000 entries, as long as the text
- of the first two fields of all the records will fit in memory. You can
- increase this limit by changing the definitions of r%, s%, and maxrec% at
- the beginning of DBSORT.OPL.
-
- DBSORT preserves the database records in their original format. It does not
- add any extra fields to the records.
