This is a simple utility to sort a Directory of the type "CHCGO.XXX".

Chisort will take an argument which is the file name, e.g.
        "Chisort CHCGO.87"
Or
        You can run Chisort and it will prompt you for the file name.

The file MUST be of the "CHCGO.XXX" type.  Results are unpredictable with any
other type file.

Chisort will then load the file and begin sorting.  This will take from 5 to 
20 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer.  The program was written 
in QuickC.2 using a simple Bubblesort.  Maybe in the future I will have time 
to spice it up with Assembly.

When done sorting, the sorted file is written to the disk using the input file 
name with the extension "SOR".

The input file must be in the same directory as Chisort, and the new file will 
be written to the same directory.

The result is a text file that you can edit or print with any text editor.  
The files are sorted alphabetically by Directory number.

You can make a "SOR" file viewable with VD.EXE by doing the following.

        1.      Delete all empty lines and lines with Directory Names.
        2.      Copy the following line on the first line of the "SOR" file.

\FMS CH(D:\RBBS\CHICAGO.86)                                                \FMS

        3.      Please note that this line must line up exactly with the other 
        text entries.  If it doesn't, delete spaces betwee the closing 
        parentheses and the backslash that begins FMS. Otherwise, though 
        VD.EXE will run, the file names will be out of line.  Also note that 
        the files will now be in descending alphabetical order.
