I tried to mail this but it bounced! (I can't seem to get through to the CS-NET). So since someone wants this stuff posted, her it is: Try the article in Dr Dobbs Journal, December 1984. It is not 4.2 specific, but it is quite good. (The comments on the Dsort algorithms are in fact wrong wrt 4.2, since it implements one of the recomemended algorithms.) -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) UUCP: {ttidca|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|quad1|nrcvax|bellcore|logico}!psivax!friesen ARPA: ttidca!psivax!friesen@rand-unix.arpa
