	Introduction
	------------
	SAL is a small program for animation of different sorting
	algorithms. It's intended to help people understand how
	sorting algorithms work.

	It was made as an individual project for a class in my
	university. It's copyright Hgskolan Karlskrona/Ronneby
	(I think) but can be spread freely for non commercial
	purposes. I'd be happy to receive some comments on the
	program so please send some e-mail. 

	It probably has lots of bugs, for one it eats memory. But
	there will be NO future versions since I have lost some
	of the code (.RC files). The C++ code can be obtained
	on request.

	It was made with Borland C++ 3.1 App. Frameworks.

	Known bugs:
	- Eats memory.
	- Merge sort doesn't work.
	- Pressing the PAUSE BUTTON after script-end halts Windows.
	  Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and then RETURN to end SAL.


	Installation
	------------
	Copy all files to a single directory. 
	Start Windows (3.1+) and add SAL.EXE as an icon somewhere.
	NOTE: The working directory MUST be the same in which the
	files are in!
	

	Running the program
	-------------------
	SAL is easy to use. Just select the algorithm you want to
	see and press the PLAY button. A SOURCE window will appear
	on your right. (Merge sort does not work I think.)

	The PAUSE button pauses the sorting and you can press it 
	to run the algorithm one step at a time.

	FAST FORWARD makes the animation run a little faster but the
	difference from PLAY isn't that big.

	STOP halts the algorithm and closes the SOURCE window.

	Press VEKTOR to change the figures to sort.


	-----------------------
	Have fun and good luck!
