The CoSORT package is a collection of routines for file sorting; for one-pass extraction, sorting, summarization, and reporting; and, for providing sort functionality within databases, data warehouses, and application programs. The central sort engine is a minimal time algorithm in a coroutine architecture that transfers records through memory. It is this unique coroutine architecture, coupled with direct SMP (parallel CPU) exploitation, that is behind both CoSORT's world class production performance and the CoSORT tools used by leading application developers.

CoSORT is available on ALL Unix and Windows NT/2000/2003 platforms, including the: HP 9000; IBM RS/6000, SP2, and E9000; Bull DPX/2 and Escala servers; Digital AlphaServers running Digital Unix (DECsystems running RISC/Ultrix); Sun UltraEnterprise and SPARCware (and compatibles like the CS6400); Pyramid Reliant, Nile, MISserver and 9000[T]; Sequent Numa-Q and Symmetry (ptx and DYNIX, COFF and ELF); Data General AViiON; Siemens Nixdorf RM; Silicon Graphics Challenge and lower; Encore Infinity; Fujitsu DS/90; Amdahl 5990/5; Convex C; and Wyse 5-9000 and other Intel-based processors running SCO Unix and UnixWare, Linux, Solaris and Interactive Unix. CoSORT also supports Windows 95/98 and Windows 2000, plus older Unix systems like Intergraph Clix, Alliant, Gould, Wyse Unix, etc. Windows NT/2000 CoSORT versions for both Intel and Alpha platforms are available at the single-user workstation, or server level.

CoSORT license fees are assessed one time for perpetual use and fairly reflect the performance benefits derived from the hardware. Fees are configuration-dependent, and discounts apply for site licensing, mutiple machines, non-profit institutions, and ISV runtimes. Annual maintenance, including new release discounts and technical support, is free for the first year after licensing. Subsequent years are charged at 15% of the base license fee for the total licensed configuration. A minimum annual charge may apply.
