KH> Yes, but isn't EMX like over 20meg in size?.. I can't free up 20 meg :(.. 

12 meg.  Disk space costs 50c/meg these days.

You don't have a choice.  How were you planning on sorting
something larger than the size of memory without having to
read it into memory from disk all the time?  There may be
algorithms that take that into account, I don't know.  BFN.  Paul.
