Hello Jack!
Monday September 18 1995, Jack Stein writes to Ron Mcleod:

Here I tried it with (TSE status-line):
L 17821   C 15    IA     1444k   *d:\temp\nodelist.258 
(NODELIST = Z2-LIST)
And TSE pro v2.5 had no problem with it, but as I tried to do it with 
the following macro:
proc main()
    MarkColumn()
    EndFile()
    GotoColumn(15)
    MarkColumn()
    Sort()
    SaveAndQuitfile()
end
it bumped here too....

When I did it manually TSE did it in approximately 15s....
