can you check if it has the old dos sorting app
sort.exe ?
A service I am writing could make good use of it, but I need to know in advance if it runs on those 2 platforms first.

XP does or at least it runs something when I type sort at a command prompt.

Win 2k3 must have it too, because it does the exact same thing at the command prompt and it worked from a terminal server session.
I just checked in Win 2003 Server. It has the sort thing.
What does sort do anyways? I couldn't understand from the help associated with it.
sorting a text file.I needed to sort a file with 200,000 records in it quciklyso I can remove duplicate records. Right now i write the whole line to a table and check if a primary key is violated. But this is slow. Using sort and then removing duplicates would only take a few seconds.
