As I can not find anything in the archives, I thought I would ask the
list.

Just need to run though a file and find the maximum number in field 2
and field 3. (Two runs okay).

I can not find a max im awk & sed (doesn't help that my book is
missing).

Can anyone suggest a quickie to achieve this?

(We are taking 10K-100K points, so sort isn't really an option.)
