[ snip ] Doug, are you implying that if we were about to import a new version of GNU sort, you would be asking for the same data? I believe we do not make this kind of work with any vendor code that is being updated in the base; I do not really understand why should Oleg or anyone else do this work when the bsdsort is compatible with a recent version of GNU sort. -- Kind regards Daniel
