[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need sort program for DOS

jeff@cdp.UUCP (06/28/88)

There's a UN*X-like sort for DOS that originated from Minix.
It's been publicly distributed with no notices, so I assume
it is public domain.  Whoever suggested using the MS-DOS
version of sort has obviously never tried the Unix version.

Yea -- right.

Unix syntax

	  sort [-cmu] [-ooutput] [-ykmem] [-zrecsz] [-dfiMnr] [-btx]
	  [+pos1] [-pos2] [files]

compared to
	
	  SORT [/R] [/+n] [< input pathname] [> output pathname]

check comp.binaries.ibm.pc  for a program called sortf.  It just arrived in
the last day or so, and is said to handle files >64K, and have many other
features that the standard MS-DOS sort does not have.
