I don't know.

I am not sure WA0AA is the problem.  I believe the file gatetwo
was missing a carriage return at the end of the file.  Perhaps when
you edited the file, your editor put one there.  It is possible
POST hung up because of this (I have edited the file on JZAP to 
take care of this I hope).

I bet if one edits WA0AAA back to WA0AA it will still work (and I 
bet WA0AA is the right call).

I guess I will have to put a warning message in POST not to expect this.
The sort routine is intended to have partial calls displayed in 
alphabetical order when using the program.  This means calls only
need to be sorted within each of the 1369 blocks as only calls from
one block are ever shown as partials.
