I'm using (cough, spit, hate to admit it in public) Dos and need
to sort files; I found a copy of gnu sort but it sorts using
signed comparisons between characters; I want chars with the
top bit set to come after 7-bit chars.  I'ld like the source
so that I can mod it to use unsigned chars on my machine.  Since
this probably isn't wanted by most people, I'm asking for the source
rather than asking the author to modify it.

Could the person porting gnu software to msdos get in touch please?

Many thanks
