Mar 23, 2011 at 3:32 comment added Jonathan Leffler @geekosaur: are you sure? The work done to remove the 512-byte limit on line length in sort was documented in 'Theory and Practice in the Construction of a Working Sort Routine' by J P Linderman, Bell System Technical. Journal, 63, 1827- 1843 (1984).

Mar 22, 2011 at 22:52 comment added geekosaur Solaris and AIX have -u but also have a 512-character line length restriction. (Actually, I think somewhere around Solaris 9 Sun upped it to 5120. GNU still wins, though.)
Mar 22, 2011 at 22:50 comment added Mat Hum... I thought I remembered Solaris or AIX not having that. I'm wrong though, they both have it.
Mar 22, 2011 at 22:46 comment added geekosaur Er? sort -u goes back to V7 at least.
