Organizes files to fit on a number of CDs

Organizes files on fixed size compact discs or floppies intending to use the minimal amount of CDs.
An implementation of the classic NP-hard bin packing problem, that is.

jaa3 has been written by Joel Yliluoma, a.k.a. Bisqwit,
and is distributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL).

The algorithm is quite quick and straightforward and doesn't resort to brute force, mass reorder tests or such. It will be enhanced some day to closer resemble the method I use for arranging the files on discs.

(File numbers in the listing correspond to the parameters given on command line: 0=first file, 1=second file, 2=third file etc. Use echo to see which order your shell expands the files.)

GNU make and a C++ compiler is required.
