Hello,

My Parallel BucketSort  works with strings only at the moment...

But ParallelSort library works with all sort of types, like
Integers , strings, doubles etc.


I have tried to bring you the best, so i hope that you will
be happy with the new version of ParallelSort library.


You can download ParallelSort library  and all my other parallel libraries 
from:

Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
