C*****SORTS THE FILE WHOSE PARAMETERS ARE IN COMMON ********************
C*****NK- WHAT WORD IN THE RECORD THE DISTRIBUTION WILL BE ON
C*****IFA =2 IF TWO DIGITS OR ONE ALPHA AT A TIME =1 IF ONE DIGIT
C*****IP - LETTER OR DIGIT IN THE WORD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
C*****ITABLE WILL HOLD THE DISTRIBUTION TABLE

C*****OF THE KEY IS LOCATED
C*****LPFRT - THE LOCATION OF THE POINTER FILE FOR THE FILE WHICH IS
C*****TO HOLD THE SORTED RECORDS
