This is exactly what I thought when I saw the article.  It was sad though,
I remember a time when BYTE was one of the first mags to publish new algs
but now they seem to be re-publishing other peoples' articles; the
'shell-sort' was in a Compute! or Compute!'s Gazette (I don't remember which)
way back when...  Geez am I *THAT* old?
