(choosing the name was the hardest part :-)

Lines are (like James' makelist) restricted to 78 characters.
However, it seems that LEdit is able handle 79 characters.
Should I expand parts.lst from 78 to 79 characters?
Should it be an option?

Besides the "Sort by [N]umber or [D]escription" question (1)
I have added another question: "Skip parts with ~ description (y/n)"
Is this useful? Are the ~ parts needed?
Should it be an option?

Finally I have added a function to test for duplicate descriptions.
When I compared the output from James's makelist and my mklist
I noticed that some lines were swapped. It turned out that the
descriptions were the same. In QuickSort the sort order of equal
items is unpredictable.
Should this check be optional? If Terry fixes the descriptions,
there won't be any duplicates, unless the user reused some in his
own parts. The check is fast and mklist of course won't bother the
user by asking if he wants to see a list of duplicates descriptions
if there aren't any.

How many of you use the list sorted by Number?

/Lars
(1) was "Sort by [N]ame or [D]escription"

(...) I'll bet. (...) I *think* having lines which are too long doesn't matter (much). Lines which are too short are evil, because LEdit doesn't clean up the display list, it just overwrites the contents of the screen. (...) Yes -- all the subparts (...)
