On a message of 28-Mar-91, George Emery (1:105/6.0) Said: > Actually, I do prefer to use linked lists (some form of psychological > limitation as a result of previous encounters with FORTH and LISP), > particularly if I'm sorting large records. Well, I tell you what. I've got the StonyBrook compiler on order and when it arrives, I'll recode the linked-list sort in Modula-2. It won't go out before this weekend (which is okay considering I'm so busy at work I won't have a chance to get to it before then) but I'll try and remember to post it. One thing though: I had completely forgotten about getting the generic pointer (of type ADDRESS, that is) to an array and passing THAT to the sorting routine. If you do that, then you can write a general sorting routine for arrays in Modula. (I simply had never thought of that before.) -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!106!506.25!Jon.Guthrie Internet: Jon.Guthrie@p25.f506.n106.z1.fidonet.org
