I ran into hardship myself when I needed to update my lottery data files. There is no consistent Internet format in presenting the lottery results. Moreover, the order is bottom-recent, top-oldest. Its exactly the opposite of the required LotWon data format. So, I had to write a little program that reverses the order in ASCII files: UPDOWN.EXE. The bottom of the file becomes the top of a new file. This is a DOS lottery program and only works with 8.3 type DOS text files, such as LotWon lotto software data files. You can press {Enter} at the second prompt to name the result file as the original (source) file. Or you can give it a different name, for increased safety.
Editor's Note:
Latest version: UPDOWN.EXE ~ Version 3.2 ~ April 2009;
32-bit software running at the command prompt under Windows 95/98/2k/XP/Vista (including 64-bit);
The application accepts huge lottery data files (or any file in text format, including long filenames).
UPDOWN.EXE can be downloaded from the Software Download site (see the footer of this page, or check the following lottery resources).

: Do you have any time to write a lottery program like your sort-34.exe, only I need to have it sort a column from new at top/old at bottom, to old at top to new at bottom. I need this so I can put into Brainmaker's neural networking program. Any help anyone, please let me know the charge for this. :
