RUN Command
The NOTCPUS command is also useful to exclude processors you already specified in
a CPUS command. This example excludes processors from a list specified in a
previous run:
<CPUS 0,1,4,5,7,8,10,12 !Use any CPUs in this list.
...
<SAVE ALL !Save all command parameters.
<RUN
...
<NOTCPUS 7,8 !Use any CPUs in the list except these.
<SAVE NOTCPUS
<RUN
...

is the name of a volume for an initial scratch file. If you omit the scratch-vol

on the volume you specify, FastSort tries to create a scratch file on a suitable
