RE: [sqr-users] SQR for Developers - Converting UNIX Sort to DOS

I have solved this problem by putting the first sort in a temp file, then 
issuing another sort command to sort that temp file, etc., etc..

Subject: [sqr-users] SQR for Developers - Converting UNIX Sort to DOS


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.
