Subject: [PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort
Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 18:53:42 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050213025342.14876.qmail@web14525.mail.yahoo.com> (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.
