I'd guess the limitation is because James allocated a 1000-element array
to hold the data lines.
The problem I ran into when I tried a rewrite was I was using a
shareware version of Basic, which wouldn't support the memory usage I
needed, so I had to go to temp files, and it was a mess. It was just
too painful to debug.
sort.exe has some file-size limits, or it acts weird under NT, or
something.
