Subject: New sort/merge program available

I have implemented the sort-merge program from Software Tools in C, and
the file is now available as "AR36:CPM;SORT 1C". It has successfully been
used to alphabetize the "SPELL" dictionary of 188K characters. This took
about 15 minutes on my 10-meg hard disk; I suspect it could take anywhere
from a half hour to an hour or so to do it on floppies. Anyway, the thing
was still being debugged two hours ago, and surely has room for performance
improvement. If anyone succeeds in speeding it up a bit, feel free to replace
the file with your faster version. I felt it was important to get it up as
soon as possible, in case there are others like me who'd like to add their
own flagged words to the SPELL dictionary and be able to sort it for use
by DICCRE.
Enjoy,
