B4. Source code

1. misc/Source/C++/testing.tar or misc/Source/C++/sortgC++.tar are one of the same and contain three individual files. On a UNIX system (eg. AFS or Linux) you untar say the testing.tar file by typing tar xvf testing.tar . On a PC one could use a file extraction/compression program such as WinZip to extract its contents. The tar file contains the following three files that can be retrieved independently as well. ATTENTION VISUAL C++ USERS In sortg.cc, you might have to replace INT_MAX by RAND_MAX and the function call to random() by a function call to rand() to make things work right. Note that AFS-based C++ compilers understand C++ files that have .cc suffixes. If you use Visual C++ you may have to use .cpp suffixes in filenames for things to work properly..
2. misc/Source/C++/Makefile.
3. misc/Source/C++/bubble.cc.
