Hi, I think that this thread got really long (and maybe for someone also annoying) and so I hesitate to post more about this topic. I do not want to prompt for further discussion, even if I think that the point seems to be interesting to others also. So, if you think that this point is worth of being discussed, please, open a new thread in which proposals can be posted. I do not know which is your development model, in any case I would be glad to contribute both in the design and in the implementation. Davide PS: did you have a look at the qsort patch?
