I'd like to know if my QWKSort program for OS-9 ever made to the web 
from the BBS days.  I don't think I ever uploaded it anywhere on the 
web and might not even have a copy for myself or the source unless I 
recover my old 42meg OS-9 L2 HD.

I wrote QWKSort to take QWK BBS mail packets and sort them so they 
would work from within Scribe.  A lot of times the mail file had gaps 
in it with null entries, and the mail reader for OS-9 would choke and 
you'd miss some categories and messages.  QWKSort crunched the file 
and may have also reindexed it, but it's been so long I can't recall 
what all I did.
