Hmm... C:Sort does this... But it's very sssslllllooooowwwww. ARP Sort sorts slightly faster. - FSort tries to be much more better. - FSort supports input from stdin and output to stdout (PIPES !!!). - FSort eats less RAM (but slightly more than ARP Sort). - FSort requires Kickstart 2.04 or higher. - FSort is pure and can be made resident. - FSort takes advantage of the powerful ss.library (also in this archive, see SSLib.lha on the AmiNet for complete distribution).
