At this point sort is all written, except for a few things, and it is under control
- I do Sort in C. (Bug in CH Sort is fixed)
- Lyle on 8086 interfaces
- Russ on TR[D?]DOS
- Debbie on Manuals
And it is exciting
- well organized & defined
- broad usage in many products is likely Basic-hosted, even Pascal perhaps.
- big potential market
