"Down Pillow" Control Code Creation: Step 8 of 88

Creation of the "Down Pillow"
Compression Algorithm Control
Codes:  Step 8 of 88

I am posting a series of steps
to comp.compression so that
there can be an external record
of my efforts to create a
sucessful copy of control codes
to use in the "Down Pillow"
compression algorithm as
discussed earlier this year.

Please disregard these posts
if you value your time; time
is money of course.  You are
warned up front, so don't
accuse me of wasting your time.
Concern yourself only if I am
sucessful.  If that time comes
you will have access to everything
you need to know in the archive.
But, if you are like me and love
wasting your time on frivolous
pursuits play along with me if
you dare.

Step 8 of 88

Use the MS-DOS SORT routine
on the command line to
sort each two-columned ascii
line file created in the last
step.  Each line in the file
is ordered based on the
randomized first column.

sort <DPC07_01.DAT >DPC08_01.DAT
sort <DPC07_02.DAT >DPC08_02.DAT
sort <DPC07_03.DAT >DPC08_03.DAT
sort <DPC07_04.DAT >DPC08_04.DAT
sort <DPC07_05.DAT >DPC08_05.DAT
sort <DPC07_06.DAT >DPC08_06.DAT
sort <DPC07_07.DAT >DPC08_07.DAT
sort <DPC07_08.DAT >DPC08_08.DAT
sort <DPC07_09.DAT >DPC08_09.DAT
