Simple text file sort program (tsort).
Description: Simple command line program, that may be used to sort text files. The program takes as input a text file and
produces as output another text file, with its lines sorted depending on the command line parameters. Beside simple sorts (alphabetically ordering the
lines of the file), the program also allows to sort the lines, based on one or several sort keys, these sort keys corresponding to the text contained in
a given column, i.e. the text at a given position within the line. This works, of course only, if the text data is organized in columns with fixed
positions (and these columns being separated by spaces). Cf. the readme file, included in the download archive, for more information.
