Jet,
I have a version of the Divide and Konker Sort
\ The Divide and Konker sort was submitted as a reply to FIG's Contest
\ of Sorts in Forth Demensions Sept/Oct 1989 by:
\ Dwight K. Elvey
\ 1300 Warren Drive
\ Santa Cruz, CA 95060
It is embedded in a copy of Forth, Inc.'s Data Base Support package
which they shipped with polyFORTH. I was close to convincing Leon and
Elizabeth to make that system public domain before I lost my last job.
If the FSL is going to open up as a maintained library, that might be a
good place to put it.
As with most sorts, there are memory allocation issues involved with
handling a data set that is worth sorting. A file based approach
seemed to me to be the best compromise, which is why it ended up being
combined.
I can do some work on it or send the files to who ever might have the
ambition to move them into yet another environment. I've moved this
source to many environments, the latest being the IntellaSys T18
compiler. I haven't looked at the FSL for many years, but I'd gladly
help move it, if that would be useful.
Write me offline at druffer@
worldnet.att.net so we can decide what is
needed to get started.
DaR
