At this point sort is all written, except for a few things, and it is under control

- I do Sort in C. (Bug in CH Sort is fixed)

- Lyle on 8086 interfaces

- Russ on TR[D?]DOS

- Debbie on Manuals

And it is exciting

- well organized & defined

- broad usage in many products is likely Basic-hosted, even Pascal perhaps.
