I've just worked on the SORT.EL file making some changes from the 18.52
distribution.  The changes are confined to the procedure `sort-columns' and
eliminate the use of the unix "sort" call, replacing it with an emacs-lisp
call to sort-subr.  The result will now under under VMS, and should in fact
also run under unix.  The fix also removes the restriction of disallowing
TAB characters in the input.

The difference file is rather small, and I'd be happy to send it out if
anyone wants it.  If there is sufficient interest, I'll post it.  E-mail to
any of the addresses below.
