[Kstars-devel] Cities.dat collation and 475 new Canadian cities

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

Hmm...'sort Cities.dat | diff Cities.dat -' gives no output here.

Is it possible that the "out of order" lines are those that begin with 
non-ascii characters?  Maybe your system and mine are somehow set up to sort 
non-ascii letters differently.  In any case, send me the output of your sort|
diff, let's see if we can figure out what is going on.

regards,
Jason
