Like dir|sort /blah /blah, or do I need to be reminded of something?

I probably should drag out the 4NT, but this is in the agony range.  It
seems to be about 10-15,000 files, and this will have to be done 3-10
times.  If I know anything, it's that tweaking a script to do something for
that few uses is non-productive.

I think I remember more 4NT than I do grep + awk, even though the parser in
4NT is less dependable.  But this is Windows, after all.

Did I say I was a fossil with a rotting brain, and that I don't have time for this?
