Eventually, when I get around to implementing the full suite of generic
algorithms, the Charles library should meet most sorting needs.  However,
the library is useable as is right now, and you can indeed sort every kind
of container in the library.

I have been busy tweaking the containers.  There will be a new release
either this week or early next week.  I will then be devoting the month of
August (2003) to writing a proposal in response to AI-302, for a standard
container library.
