Some differences (from browsing the manual page and toying with it): * rl can pick lines from the input (you can say give me 10 random lines from this file), this can be done with and without recurring lines (my math/statistics knowledge is mostly Dutch but it's like drawing cards with and without replacing them to the deck). * I don't understart bogosort's default mode of operation (it just permutates until the file is sorted? at least it takes more time than I am willing to wait for it), with --nosort it behaves just like rl by default * bogosort has some command-lines features like --output and --verbose * rl seems to be about three times as fast (just running 'time rl 100000lines > /dev/null' and 'time bogosort -n 100000lines > /dev/null a couple of times, no real statistics involved here) - -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9oJLYVYan35+NCKcRAjLGAKClDJ1JWOgKi9DCksHvsUkgEBHeuACg3+M3 rCYtcZ5wh5ix0CopYklVeRk= =Iayk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
