relations which can be used to model any kind of C++ data structures.
Objects can be selected, filtered, and ordered using a template- and
class-based API with type checking at compile time.
Changes: Macro hacks were removed, as an XML database definition file and
code generator are used now. N-ary relations (relations that link three or
more objects) are supported. Support was added for relation attributes

order may be defined. Comparisons may be lexicographic, numeric, by string
length, date, or time. Optional keys are supported. Msort uses the Unicode
character set and provides full Unicode case-folding. The basic program has
a somewhat complex command line interface, but it may be driven by an
optional GUI.
Changes: A bug that interfered with multigraph definition has been fixed.
The GUI now adapts itself to Tk-Aqua when running on Mac OS X without X11.
