SUMMARY

The Microsoft Software Library contains object modules that implement the Quicksort similar to the C run-time library function qsort(). These object modules are compatible with Windows dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and work with FAR data pointers, including memory obtained through GlobalAlloc().

There are two versions of the object module, WINQSRTS.OBJ and WINQSRTM.OBJ, for small-model and medium-model applications, respectively. The small- model version uses a near pointer to the comparison function, whereas the medium-model version uses a far pointer.
