Preface
This reference publication contains the specifications
and operating procedures for the Sort 6 generative
program and for sort object programs generated by
Sort 6.
Four sort object programs, Sorts 61, 62, 63, and 64
are available from ffiM. The specifications for these
programs are presented under the heading, Sort Obiect
Program Specifications.
The selection of the Sort 6 generative program or
any. of the four sort object programs, will depend on
the needs of the individual users. The sort object pro-
gram decks generated by Sort 6 are available to USers
who may not require the versatility of Sort 6 and
whose needs are satisfied by the supplied sort object
programs.
