We are looking for a generic Ada sort package that will be efficient for 
extremely large numbers of records residing on disk (~700,000), occupying about 
20 MB of memory, which are locally out of order (i.e. the data are only 
unordered in a small region of the whole).  The application will reside on a 
UNIX workstation.  If there are commercially available sort packages, we'd sure 
like to know where they are!  We are not sure whether the GRACE or BOOCH 
components have any robust sort packages for large data sets.
