/*
 * PLANETS3 -- sort and print planets in increasing order of diameter
 * this uses structures to hold names and diameters; these are allocated
 * as the planets and their diameters are read in from a file
 *
 * Usage: planets3 <filename>
 *     
 * Inputs: none
 * Outputs: prints the sorted list
 * Arguments: name of file containing planet data
 * 		the data has the form:
 * 		name diameter
 * 		where "name" has no blanks
 *
