Re: [sqr-users] SQR for Developers - Converting UNIX Sort toDOS

["George Jansen" <GJANSEN@aflcio.org>]

Do you have the option of using Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com)? Your
sysdamins might have reservations, but I have used some pieces of Cygwin
in the past, with success. Glancing at the site now, I'm not sure they
have "sort".

Alternatively, you could 

a. poke around places like www.simtel.net for a Unix sort-alike
b. try scripting your own sort in one of the Windows scripting tools
c. really thrill your sysadmins and install ActivePerl or ActivePython
from www.activestate.com, and go to town.

I'm converting some UNIX based SQR 8.1 code to SQR for Developers (8.1)
on Windows 2000 and have hit a snag and I was wondering if anyone has
any suggestions.

The problem I'm having is that the UNIX based SQR code uses the "Call
System Using" command to call various UNIX commands.  Most of the UNIX
commands I've encountered so far have DOS equivalents and I've been able
to use those equivalents.  But I'm having trouble replacing the UNIX
SORT command.  The UNIX SORT command is much more powerful then the DOS
SORT command and this program uses a lot of the various UNIX SORT
command features that the DOS SORT commmand does not have.  Does anyone
know a way of replacing the UNIX SORT command in DOS.

Any help you could give me will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
