I'm porting some VMS/fortran code to SUN-UNIX/FORTRAN.
One of the routines was formatting binary data using the VMS
sort routine. The VMS sort routine supported binary data,
but I don't think the Unix sort utility does.
Has anyone done this before ?
Can anyone give me pointers on how I can sort binary data in Unix ?
Thanks in advance.

In one clause you talk about `routines' and in the next `utilities': if you want `routines', ANSI C provides qsort()---which, despite the name, is merely `a sort' and not necessarily `a quicksort'---and qsort works on all, er, sorts of data. If you want utilites, choose a better newsgroup.... -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Lawrence Berkeley Lab CSE/EE (+1 415 486 5427) Berkeley, CA Domain: torek@ee.lbl.gov
