Did anybody anwer that question yet? I didn't see one.
A radix sort is one that processes each possition of the key at a
time. For a decimal key it simply separates the input into 10 strings.

The card sort program for the 360 Mod 20 was about 3/4 of an inch high, and
you did put the sort control card if I remember right in the middle. We had
