40x0 PROBERS

SortProd is used to sort the list of product files (displayed from the Product / Select prober menu) into alphabetical order.

SortProd sorts the lines found in the prober disk file "C:\EG_Root\Products\XRef.PD" into (ascending) alphabetical order, backing up the original file. The products will then be listed in alphabetical order in the "Product" "Select" screen of the EG Commander.
The original cross-reference file is renamed "XRef.BAK". If a file named "XRef.BAK" already existed, it is deleted before the rename of the original file.

Copy this file to the "C:\Util" directory on your prober, then execute by typing sortprd. This will extract two files... the utility file (SortProd.exe) and a documentation file (Sort_Doc.com). The documentation file may be viewed by typing sort_doc. After extraction of the two files, this original file (SortPrd.exe) may be deleted from the prober.

Edit the prober's autoexec.bat file by inserting the line
C:\Util\SortProd
just before the line saying "Comander". Your product list will be re-sorted at each prober bootup.
Note that you may also trigger a re-sort by typing c:\util\sortprod from the DOS prompt (the "\Util" directory is not normally on the DOS path).
