Hi Bill , 
As you may recall we are having difficulty in merging
the large index files. Will the solution below work as
a solution for us.


(Merge the files together...)
# cat largefile1 largefile2... largefileN >>
unsorted_largefile
(Sort large files using no more than N Megabytes of
system memory)
# sort -k <field to sort by> -S <N>M
unsorted_largefile > sorted_largefile
# rm unsorted_largefile

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ashim
