Need help with TVL Event Jeff Boyes Thu, 16 Dec 1999 08:33:26 -0700

All -

I have modified TVL.BAT to first download ECHOST listings, then TZ-M
listings. These listings are contained in separate TXT files (ECHOST.TXT
and TZ-M.TXT, then, the last line of TVL.BAT copies these two files into
TVLNEW.TXT.) All works fine, except that TVLNEW.TXT then contains two
distinct "groups" of listings (TZ-M first, followed by ECHOST) like
this:

- 11/30 Tuesday   12:05a 060 30     NBCM       Late Night With Conan
O'Brien
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 08     PBSM       Indian Arts at the
Phoenix Heard Museum
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:35a 060 13     ABCM       Martin Short
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 060 21     FOXM       Ricki Lake
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:05a 030 30     NBCM       Later
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:35a 030 13     ABCM       Access Hollywood
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:00a 030 110    FOOD       Gordon Elliott's Door
Knock Dinners
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 110    FOOD       Hot off the Grill With
Bobby Flay
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 169    NOGGIN     Electric Company
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 120 143    CLSN       Classic Baseball
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 060 169    NOGGIN     Sesame Street Unpaved
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:30a 030 191    ZDTV       The Money Machine
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:30a 030 235    KWGN       Change of Heart
- 11/30 Tuesday   02:00a 030 110    FOOD       From Martha's Kitchen
- 11/30 Tuesday   02:00a 030 116    GAMESH     Burt Luddin's Love Buffet

This makes the TV-Guide Listing show up incorrectly. What I would like
is a listing that is sorted first by start time, then by channel number,
like this:

- 11/30 Tuesday   12:00a 030 110    FOOD       Gordon Elliott's Door
Knock Dinners
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:05a 060 30     NBCM       Late Night With Conan
O'Brien
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 08     PBSM       Indian Arts at the
Phoenix Heard Museum
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 110    FOOD       Hot off the Grill With
Bobby Flay
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:30a 030 169    NOGGIN     Electric Company
- 11/30 Tuesday   12:35a 060 13     ABCM       Martin Short
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 060 21     FOXM       Ricki Lake
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 120 143    CLSN       Classic Baseball
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:00a 060 169    NOGGIN     Sesame Street Unpaved
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:05a 030 30     NBCM       Later
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:30a 030 191    ZDTV       The Money Machine
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:30a 030 235    KWGN       Change of Heart
- 11/30 Tuesday   01:35a 030 13     ABCM       Access Hollywood
- 11/30 Tuesday   02:00a 030 110    FOOD       From Martha's Kitchen
- 11/30 Tuesday   02:00a 030 116    GAMESH     Burt Luddin's Love Buffet

I tried the DOS SORT command. No success. Do you have any suggestions?

Other than this minor annoyance, all is well with the newest beta. Even
my wife likes the TV Guide event. All that is left is to get a modem
installed.
