I'm running sort (from textutils version 1.3) on SunOS Sparcs 4.1.2...

The options are very different then the one on the sun...I don't have
a posix spec around...most of the time the GNU utilities are
better...

>From the sun:
NAME
       sort - sort and collate lines

SYNOPSIS
       sort  [  -bdfiMnr  ]  [ -tc ] [ sort-field ...] [ -cmu ] [
       -o[ ]output-file ] [ -T directory ]
        [ -y kmem ] [ -z recsz ] filename...

SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS
       /usr/5bin/sort [ -bdfiMnr ] [ -tc ] [  sort-field  ...]  [
       -cmu ] [ -o[ ]output-file ] [ -T directory ] [ -y kmem ] [
       -z recsz ] filename...

>From gnu:
NAME
       sort - sort lines of text files

SYNOPSIS
       sort  [-cmus]  [-t  separator] [-o output-file] [-bdfiMnr]
       [+POS1 [-POS2]] [-k POS1[,POS2]] [file...]

This is a problem because I'm running indxbib and it returns:
cognized option `-T'
Usage: sort [-cmus] [-t separator] [-o output-file] [-bdfiMnr] [+POS1 [-POS2]]
       [-k POS1[,POS2]] [file...]

(I got around this by putting /usr/bin in front of my path)

What does posix say?

Sorry, not to answer your question directly, but --

An inofficial version of the POSIX Draft is available by anonymous ftp
from research.att.com, directory /netlib/posix. Currently, it holds
drafts of POSIX.0, POSIX.2, POSIX.2a, and POSIX.2b. (Ie, POSIX.1, the
API, is not there.)
    European folks may want to fetch this files from
ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75], directory pub/docs/posix. It's
mirrored automatically, so it will be up-to-date.
