  I am working on a project for a friend that requires me to sort a large file
of records (2000+ entries generally) that will change from month to month as he
gets updates so I can never be certain of the number of records.  I would
appreciate any suggestions on sorting the file.  Right now I am debating on how
to treat it as a large array on disk and sort it as if it were in memory, but I
also realize that it would be VERY slow.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
  Also, can someone tell me how to send escape codes to the printer.  I haven't
had a reason until now but he wants the sorted file printed out in condensed
print.  How do I send the 'chr(27) + ??' (the basic version) to the printer.  I
tried sending the character 27 + value but it just gave me the ascii equivalent
letter rather than changing the printer setup.  Thanks alot in advance for any
help on either question....
