091134 - This shows the only errors are in Denis' records.  I opened the
091135 - pointer files and was able to correct the problems, which likely
091136 - arose from the record delete function.
091137 -
091138 - Tried test again.  Got a log with "0" output.

091149 - This seems to work okay, in fact much faster than Supersort, as
091150 - reported earlier, ref SDS 2 line 112.  It takes slightly more disk
091151 - space, but the increased performance is worth it.  We need a way to
091152 - accomplish the flexibility of creating Supersort selection
091153 - specifications.  This includes specifying secondary criteria, i.e.
091154 - functions.
