ShowSort: graphical demonstration of sorting algorithms

These are based on the ShowSort class, which provides all the necessary handling except for the actual sorting algorithm. The ShowSortFrame class (along with the main() and launch() methods in each class) allows each applet to run standalone. Compilation is controlled by a Makefile. These applets require Java 1.0.2; ShowSortFrame requires Java 1.1. These applets have been tested under Netscape 3.0.1, 3.0.4, and 4.5 for Linux, Blackdown's ports of Sun's JDK 1.1.3 and 1.1.7 to Linux, and IBM's JDK, version 1.3.0 for Linux.
