Re[2]: Sorting large file

     Soundex or metaphone. I prefer the metaphone algorithm because it's 
     a bit more granular than Soundex. You can look at the metaphone and 
     see what sounds it represents. I wrote a "record dups" purge using 
     metaphone to scan our "facilities file".

Output two files, the one above in plain text but shifted and a second one 
where the words are rewritten into letter-number format to match even with 
spelling errors.  I haven't written one of those for a long time.  I don't 
remember the name anymore.  It was used by airlines to find people's names 
in their reservation systems.
