Michiel van Loon was kind enough to send me the source code
to his program so I could compile it for use under DOS.

I'll e-mail the .EXE file to any one that ask.

Is there any official place for yarn utilities that I should
pass this on to?

f_order.exe v1.0 [This version is for DOS all else is the same -Bob]
================

Proposed location on hobbes:

/os2/comm

This program reorders a folder in Yarn/2 (tested with version 0.83) by date as
is in the message header. For safety reasons the old folder is renamed.

The program is freeware and can be redistributed freely as long as this notice
is accompanying the program.

The program should be run in the mail directory. The program does not check for
environment variables it is just a hack I find very useful.

Calling sequence:

f_order <folder_name>

After succesfull completion the old folder is renamed to <folder_name>.old and
<folder_name> contains the sorted folder.

Comments and suggestions can be sent to: mfvl@xs4all.nl

Disclaimer:

I have tested this program on a variety of folders created by Yarn. However I
don't accept any responsibility for damage caused by the use of this program.
