[Lexicog] Sorting

[Wayne Leman]

Rudy, it may not be widely known, but for those of us using later Windows
operating systems, such as Windows XP, we can still access the MS-DOS
prompt, as well as run MS-DOS programs. Some of those programs were great
and still are! I still have some good DOS sort programs, including ones
which can sort by specified fields; these can work well for sorting some
lexical lists.

Try this, if you have a later version of Windows: click on Start / Run /
Command. Look familiar?

:-)

Also, we can click on the filename of a DOS program and often that program
will then run in a DOS Windows. Some things in life are just too good to
give up. Now, I wonder about my old CPM programs?!   :-)

By all means, we do not want to be out of sorts!!
