PARASORT will copy, sort and merge your ASCII OR dBASE files easily and 
quickly.  Since most databases can export to ASCII, these files can also
be sorted with PARASORT.  It can use complex record selection criteria, 
including record and byte position on input and/or output, to select    
which records it will sort and merge.  A special dBASE III interface    
enhances the program.                                                   
                                                                        
Display the fields of the selected files on the screen, one page at a   
time, 20 fields per page.  Specify which fields are key and in which    
sequence and then choose the sorting order of each field.  PARASORT can 
reformat the input file as it is read, skipping and limiting the input  
and/or output records including or excluding dBASE header records.  It  
will write the output records to one or more output files, formatting it
as you wish.                                                            
                                                                        
Sort on ascending, descending and absolute values of keys.  Convert     
fixed length records to variable length records and back again.         
PARASORT can eliminate duplicates or place them in an expected order,   
first, last, or don't care.
