Landon Curt Noll 0833c3e4f0 fix how bin tools sort
We set LC_ALL=C when sorting in a bin tool.  This was done
to make the result of using `sort(1)` consistent.

Improved how the Primary files and Secondary files are
sorted by `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` to sort
with "-u -k 1n -k 3.2d".

The above will change `index.html` files for all entries.

Changed `bin/chk-entry.sh` VERSION from "1.1.2 2024-03-17"
to "1.1.3 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-03-04"
to "1.3.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-03-04"
to "1.1.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/gen-sitemap.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-03-16"
to "1.3.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-02-27"
to "1.2.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.5 2024-03-18"
to "1.5.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.1.2 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/tar-all.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-27"
to "1.1.1 2024-03-18".

Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-27"
to "1.1.1 2024-03-18".

Performed `make www` to update all entry `index.html` files.

<h3 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>This program is designed primarily to make your X windows interface more
obfuscated. Try doing something mouse driven (such as using a mouse
driven editor on this program) whilst it is running. If you’re not sure
what it does, looking at the code should give a fair idea.</p>
<p>It also has a [cat] man page if you want to install it as a ‘utility’.</p>
<h3 id="options">OPTIONS</h3>
<p>It only takes one optional option: the greasiness factor. This is the
number that the speed is divided by on each iteration. The default is
1.03. A setting of 1 - no friction - is fun as is 0.99.</p>
<p>Being an X program, it recognises the <code>DISPLAY</code> variable.</p>
<h3 id="portability">PORTABILITY</h3>
<p>The program is very portable, even to non X architectures. All that is
required is a large desk and some good grease.</p>
<h3 id="comments">COMMENTS</h3>
<p>It is really rather surprising that code like this should not only be
portable, but compile with almost no warnings on most of the compilers
tested. It’s a kind of shame that none of the compilers do anything
like this:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb7"><pre class="sourceCode sh"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span id="cb7-1"><a href="#cb7-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">$</span> make greasymouse</span>

<span id="cb7-4"><a href="#cb7-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">greasymouse.c:32:</span> This is a really stupid way to perform this operation</span>
<span id="cb7-5"><a href="#cb7-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">greasymouse.c:42:</span> This program would look better with a newline here</span>
<span id="cb7-6"><a href="#cb7-6" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">greasymouse.c:48:</span> That<span class="st">&#39;s a really silly thing to do</span></span>
<span id="cb7-7"><a href="#cb7-7" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="st">greasymouse.c:55: So is that</span></span>
<span id="cb7-8"><a href="#cb7-8" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="st">...</span></span>
<span id="cb7-9"><a href="#cb7-9" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="st">greasymouse.c:58: This program is rubbish. I&#39;</span>m not going to link it.</span></code></pre></div>
<p>The code is best viewed with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_stop">tab stops</a> every 8 spaces.</p>
<h3 id="bugs">BUGS</h3>
<p>The mouse gets stuck completely if you give it an option of less
than 1 and leave it for too long. This is quite annoying if it
didn’t leave the terminal it was run from in focus.</p>
<p>It gets very jerky if the processor is being used. There are
better time functions than <code>clock()</code> but I haven’t used them.</p>
<p>It deflects slightly when it gets very slow.</p>
<p>It annoys other people if you run it on their display too
often. Maybe I should make future versions print funny jokes to
keep the humor fresh.</p>
<p>It’s pretty ropey over a 56K modem.</p>
<p>It’s even ropier over a 56K modem and tunneled through 3 ssh links.</p>
<h3 id="warnings">WARNINGS</h3>
<p>Pages and pages and pages of things, with GCC at any rate.</p>
<p>It suggests loads of <code>()</code>s where they’re not needed.</p>
<p>It reckons I have not used some of the values I have computed. I
would never do a thing like that: I just haven’t used them in
the way it’s used to.</p>
<p>The MIPS compiler suggests an <code>==</code> instead of an <code>=</code> in expressions
such as:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb8"><pre class="sourceCode c"><code class="sourceCode c"><span id="cb8-1"><a href="#cb8-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="op">&amp;&amp;(</span>a<span class="op">=</span>b<span class="op">)</span></span></code></pre></div>
<p>but its suggestions would break my program. It also reckons
that <code>r()</code> has no prototype.</p>
<p>Giving the <code>-pedantic</code> option to the MIPS compiler causes it to generate
warnings about its own header files, but not any extra ones with this
program.</p>
<p>With all warnings enabled, the DEC compiler, oddly enough finds some
problems with its own include files, but none with my program.</p>
<h3 id="errors">ERRORS</h3>
<p>The DEC compiler of this version: <code>DEC C V5.6-079 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 878)</code> can’t compile the code. It thinks that preprocessor lines can not have
whitespace preceding the <code>#</code>. Moving the preprocessor directives to the
beginning of the line wrecks the layout but makes it compile.</p>
