Nlistb  makes a sorted names list from the user list, and a text file
        (NAMES.TXT) version of the Names list. Just run while in the
        directory containing your USER.LST file. Max is unknown, but
        over 5,000 users (test User.Lst was 2,925,585 bytes!). It will
        vary depending on memory available at runtime.      

Nlistbi makes a sorted names list from the user list. It first makes
        an unsorted version of the Names list, then sorts the file.
        It's slow, but the only limitation on the number of users is
        disk space... if you have the space, you can sort an infinite
        number of users in VERY low ammounts of memory. (to update
        names.txt, run Nlistl afterwards.)

Both produce 'clean' files. ie, after the username, there will be nulls
to fill up the extra space, not garbage.

Nlistl  makes the text version (NAMES.TXT) from the current NAMES.LST.
        Just run while in the directory containing your USER.LST file.

NLISTB/NLISTL were tested on a dummy user list of 5,000 entries (name = record
number), and they worked perfectly.

All three were tested on my system with 159 user, and worked perfectly.
