Re: System/36 Sort Reference manual

[TAdair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It's the "almost" part that's the problem.  I have to convert some old 
#GSORT code, and I need the layout of the old S/36 sort specs (every 
column of the H, I, and F specs) to determine exactly what the sort is 
doing.  FMTDTA's specs are similar but there are some differences.

I can't seem to find the information anywhere.  I am going nuts or did I 
just have the layout memorized 20 years ago?  Does anyone still have the 
old System/36 Sort manual?  Does it even exist, or was the information in 
another manual?
