-
- SORTFILE expects the user to supply a filename, which
- can include a directory pathname, as well as the start
- position and length of the field on which the file is
- to be sorted.
-
- The program first checks the size of the file and the
- amount of free RAM available to see if it can be sorted
- in memory. If it is too large, the file is sorted in
- place. This method, which is far slower, allows the
- file to be of any size up to 4 Gigabytes.
