FSort    1.1    Very fast file sorting utility

   File sorting... Hmm... C:Sort does this... But it's very
   sssslllllooooowwwww.  ARP Sort sorts slightly faster.

   - FSort tries to be much more better.
   - FSort supports input from stdin and output to stdout (PIPES !!!).
   - FSort eats less RAM (but slightly more than ARP Sort).
   - FSort requires Kickstart 2.04 or higher.
   - FSort is pure and can be made resident.
   - FSort takes advantage of the powerful ss.library (also in this archive,
     see SSLib<???>.lha on the AmiNet for complete distribution).

   Speed comparison: (280K file, on GVP A530 Turbo - 68EC030 40MHz)

      original C:Sort 37.3	36 seconds	380K used
      ARP Sort			27 seconds	317K used
      FSort			4.9 seconds	334K used

   All the timings are measured by Stat 1.0 (available in MJUtils.lha
   on AmiNet).
