And I'm wrong, it was my version of cron that was last at edition 14, gsort 
indeed is at edition 12, so you do have the right one.  Unforch, I just 
found its been dropped from the cvs snapshot, it was in 
3rdparty/utils/gene of the older releases.  I also see thats some code I 
didn't write in that subdir, Vaughn Cato's ansifront is in there for some 
odd reason.  That goes between the c.prep output, and the c.comp1 input to 
convert ansi code into MW version K&R equ, and it works right well.  But I 
didn't write it, Vaughn Cato did.  Good stuff that.
