[comp.unix.questions] Looking for CACM article on "sorting in NROFF"

bink@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu (9704) (09/24/89)

Hello... I'm posting this once more, to a wider audience, as no one on this
continent who reads comp.text knew the answer.  I would REALLY like to
locate an article referenced a while back in comp.text in which the author
describes how to perform a sort via diversions entirely in NROFF commands
(apparently just to show that it can be done).  I think it was a CACM
article, but am not sure.  Hey, you don't even have to use E-mail if you
don't want to -- I'm desperate!  TOD (Thanks On Delivery) this time...
plus a complimentary advance copy of some silly macros I'm writing to do
something I won't even mention (as the idea is 60% of the design).

ob question:  Are multiple arguments to .rm standard (portable)?
