Dear Sirs ,
There is a program named as "rpsort.com" with its related sources in "rpsrt102.zip" which may be found in the following address : http://www.simtel.net/product.php?url_fb_product_page=51643 or by an internet search with name rpsrt102.zip . The following is a part from its "readme" : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is being mailed to all those who either registered or inquired about RPSORT, written by my brother, Robert Pirko. Robert Pirko, the author of RPSORT, passed away on February 15, 1992. He had not been ill , but just suddenly collapsed and died. You never know ... RPSORT is now free for all to use, no payment is asked. Also the assembly language source code is free. The file RPSRT101.ZIP has been uploaded to a local (New York City) BBS: NYACC 718 539-3064 (free access) This file contains version 1.01 of RPSORT and its documentation plus the commented source code written in 8086 assembler for the Borland Turbo Assembler 2.5. It is also available by mail for a payment of $5.00 to: Alex Pirko 3881 Sedgwick Ave Apt.6D Bronx, NY 10463 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rpsort.com is working perfectly under Windows XP ( with 8.3 format file names ( because its file name variable ( I think , due to "IpNameExt DB 13 Dup (?)" in its assembler source ) ) ) . It is "UNBELIEVABLY" fast . My suggestion is that it can be incorporated into a unit ( for example , as a procedure with a parameter ( containing giving definition of sort like its command-line parameter string ) ). My opinion is that it may be useful to study it . Thank you very much , Mehmet Erol Sanliturk _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
