                      VNETSORT 1.05 VBBS Net Call Sorter
                               (for VBBS 7.xx)

Introduction:
  Are you sick of seeing *some* of your net calls in the "last few callers"
list while others are in the "last few net calls" list?  VNETSORT will take
care of it.  Just put VNETSORT.EXE in your main VBBS directory and add it to
your LOGOFF.BAT.  Please see the revision history for command line options.

Notes:
  VNETSORT determines a net call by the presence of an "@" character in the
CALLERS.LST entry for that caller.  If a user has that character in its (hehe)
name/handle or a network does not, VNETSORT will not sort correctly.  It is
my assumption after absolutely *no* research that every net call will have
an "@" character in its address if not in its "handle."  The original VBBS 7
new user login procedure will not allow the "@" character in a handle.

Q:  "Isn't there already a call sorting program circulating?"
A:  Yes, but it didn't work properly when I used it.  It removed the net calls
    from CALLERS.LST but intermittently lost them forever.

  Happy sorting!  You may contact me at ans1@axe.humboldt.edu.

Revision History:
  1.05 Fixed a bug introduced in 1.03 that was truncating extended results.
  1.04 Added numerical sorting of network calls.
       Added /NONUMSORT to disable numerical sorting.
  1.03 Fixed "String space corrupt" problem which occured on long lists.
       Limited number of callers to 500.
       Added code to remove blank lines.
       Added rudimentary error handling to prevent "Press any key..."
  1.02 First public release.
