 That's due to a very annoying and often run Ford truck commercial in my

I took advantage of your kind offer, but unfortunately I only have a
486-33 (but a fairly fast hard disk).  I tried your TOOTAG on my 13MB
tagline file (~280K lines), but after the sort, the deduplicate phase
had only processed about 4% of the file in a couple of hours.  Since I
didn't want it to run for what could have been two days, and needed to
do other things on the PC over the weekend, I stopped it there.  For
those interested, Andres Valloud's GET_ORIG sorter/deduplicator takes
about 40 minutes on the same file and the same PC.

If you mean TSORT rather than Tag-O-Matic, the answer is Yes, and
it is very slightly faster than QSORT 4.03, which has almost the
same parameters description.  Of course the sort is much the smaller
of the tasks, since the deduplication is the more difficult process.

Subject: [Hunting Tags]
It's easier than you think...
A far easier method doesn't require a text editor and doesn't care
whether you use Bluewave or any other OLR/Point program.
Simon Avery wrote a rather nifty little program called Tag-Grab, which
will steal all the tags from a message, and save them into your tagline
file.  The proviso is that the sender of the message has used the [Begin
Tags] [End Tags] header and footer.
The unfortunate thing is very few people do, but I think its worth
encouraging them.  The program is Freqable from me 24 hours, and I am
sure from many other BBS.  Here are the details...
