SortEvents V2.0 can only be executed from within Thor.

SortEvents V2.0 will sort all active Thor Events into the following order:

   Email
   Newsgroup
   Other (Join, Resign, Retract etc.)
   Upload
   Download

The Event list is read and displayed to the user. If 'Sort Events' is selected
then the Events are sorted and the new order is re-displayed.

SortEvents will create 'ENV:THOR/SortEvents' when first used. This is used to
indicate that Events have been sorted at least once during the current session.

SortEvents works by reading the existing Events and rewriting them in the order
given above. It will leave 'DEL' type Events in the Event lister when viewed
from within Thor. Once all Events have been successfully dealt with, these will
disappear.

  Thanks to Paul Gooch for reminding me of the problem, and to Remco Van Hooff
  for supplying valuable info on file attachments.

  A special thanks and apology goes to Arlé Mooldijk, who first highlighted the
  problem back in October last year. I'm sorry I didn't action this at the time.

History

V2.0 (20.2.97)

  SortEvents V2.0 can only be run from within Thor. Named changed to
  SortEvents.thor to reflect this.

  As a result, the script now uses Thor's requesters for user information.

V1.1 (12.2.97) Beta tested only

  Fixed the problem with file attachments being incorrectly added to other
  Events.

  Added the path/filename of the attached file (or Up/Download file) alongside
  the Event type in the requesters - now you can see which Events have
  attachments, before and after sorting.

V1.0 (3.9.96)

  Initial release
