I need a sort program with these features:

	handles variable-length records
	records are CR/LF terminated
	fields within records are delimited by arbitrary character - in
this case a comma
	file is large - will not fit in memory - must sort disk file.

I believe I went through the PD archives thoroughly without finding one
although SORTV came close.  Have I missed one?  Does anyone have any
other ideas?

Send mail or post, as you wish.

Thanks,

Brint Cooper
