Don't we really have a working makelist?
What about makelst2, makelst3, makelis4, makelisb, makelisc, ...
If you would like me to, I can quickly make a small and fast makelist
using my good old reliable 1988-"Borland TurboC" that I use for L3P.
It is actually rather simple to solve the main problem: don't use
temporary files and pipes and the DOS sort.exe program, but sort
internally (using qsort() in C). It is much faster too. Keeping e.g.
1500 lines in memory just takes up 1500 x 80 = 120,000 bytes,
so don't stop making new parts.
How abount case-insensitive sorting? Is it required? No problem.
How about number sorting? Do you want 3100 before 30010?
