[gnu.emacs.vms] change to 18.52 sort.el, sort-columns runs now

rbr4@UHURA.CC.ROCHESTER.EDU (Roland Roberts) (12/02/88)

I have made some changes to the code in SORT.EL to allow sort-columns to
run on VMS.  The call to call-subprocess-region has been changed to
sort-subr with the appropriate change in arguments.
 
The code no doubt is a bit slower for large files than it would be on unix,
but that's somewhat moot since it otherwise wouldn't run on vms at all.  If
there is interest, I'll post the unix style ``diff -c2'' file.
