**** cut from forms README
  * Ignatios Souvatzis wrote a forms routine to sort a file on
    selected fields. I did not include it because I don't think that
    sorting belongs to the functionality of forms-mode. Ignatios
    wrote me:

      as i didn't want to look up the man page for /bin/sort, i wrote
      a sort function for you forms mode. You may include it in your
      next distribution to the net or FSF, if you want (as long as
      there remains a trace of who wrote that ~30 lines). Else tell me
      please so that i can post the sort code myself.

Stupid question:  What is the forms package and where can I get it.

Thank's in advance,
