                                   Overview

       SRDEMO demonstrates library routines for sorting file names that
       may contain digits, spaces, lower-case letters and/or commas
       within numbers.  For example, the output of this program when run
       on the file names in LISTFILE follows:

       SRDEMO 1.1, Copyright (c) 1995 by David M. Wincelberg

       Alphanumerically Sorted Filenames:

       FILE            FILE.000        FILE.BAK        FILE0000
       FILE0A          FILE1           FILE1A          FILE0002
       FILE2           FILE2.DAT       File4           FILE10
       FILE23          FILE24          FILE102         FILE125
       FILE127         FILE135         FILE1002

            Notice that leading zeros are ignored and numbers of
       different lengths are sorted properly.  Also notice that "File4"
       is a case-sensitive name.  If you use the routines in SRLIB, your
       users will see properly sorted file names even if some indexed
       set of files unexpectedly needs another digit.  For example,
       suppose a user is indexing newsletters as Vxx#nn.TXT and receives
       issue 100.  Then, instead of V15#100.TXT appearing between
       V15#10.TXT and V15#11.TXT, it will be displayed in its proper
       place.  Using SRLIB will also save your users the inconvenience
       of typing leading zeros (or spaces in a long file name).

            As a first test of SRLIB, enter:

                             SRDEMO @LISTFILE /W4

       To put "File4" in its correct place, add the /I switch.
