[comp.sys.hp] HP3000 - SORT/3000 Algorithm

stewartw@neptune.UUCP (Stewart Winter ) (02/18/88)

    Does anyone know what algorithm SORT/3000 uses on the HP3000?
What order is the algorithm? (O(n2) or O(n*log(n))?

I think Bob Green from Robelle Consulting should know, since he
claims that they copied SUPRTOOL's techniques.

Of course SORT/3000 is older, but that doesn't mean they have always
used the same algorithm
