	HELP!
	Since I am not a normal PASCAL user, If you have a response, could
you please e-mail it to me ASAP? Also This is being posted 5/12/89. Please
do not respond after 5/16/89.

	What the problem boils down to is that an instructor here gave
a lab assignment. It required the use of a sort. Since the project can
be done in C or PASCAL on a UNIX (sun) system, It became evident that 
one could use the UNIX sort in a call from C. 

	Is there such a call from PASCAL? Or
do I have to write a C program to make the call, then have the PASCAL 
program call that C subroutine? I know this can be done, but is there
a simpler solution.

	You see there is an angry group of my peers waiting to lynch me.
Please HELP ASAP!

Thanks

Soon to be laid to rest.... Mike S.
