+ * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
+ conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
+ POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
+ * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
+
* src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
