rasort -m loss won't work

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Barry,
Sorry for the delayed response.  We do have sorting on the "loss" field.
Use the "-h" option on any ra* command, and you'll get the version  
number,
if you think that you're using older code.

If you have a file that doesn't sort using the argus-3.0.x  
distributions,
send it and I'll take a look.
