  I didn't know that. The machine code has to be the same, so to me it
seemed feasible.

  Why the FUCK didn't you tell me that in the beginning, instead of
telling me to use strftime()? JEESEZ!

 BL> qsort(list, n, 80, sort);

 PE> I didn't say that. You didn't ask me about the qsort call. That
 PE> "80" is incorrect. It should be sizeof(char *). 

  Sizeof WHAT char* pointer? And anyway, it doesn't work. I've already
tried that.

 PE> And xysort works successfully too. BFN. Paul.

  Whatever it is... I can't make head nor fucking tail of it.

  And don't tell me to just use it blindly. I'm trying to *learn*
something. I already know how to say "Polly wants a cracker."
