Subject: [patch 2/8] correctly name the Shell sort
Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 09:50:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050408075054.25DF41F3A3@trashy.coderock.org> (raw)



As per http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/shellsort.html, this should be referred to
as a Shell sort. Shell-Metzner is a misnomer.
