I'm porting some VMS/fortran code to SUN-UNIX/FORTRAN.
One of the routines was formatting binary data using the VMS
sort routine.  The VMS sort routine supported binary data,
but I don't think the Unix sort utility does.

Has anyone done this before ?
Can anyone give me pointers on how I can sort binary data in Unix ?

    Thanks in advance.
