Well, for starters, I'd say that's the WORST implementation of Quicksort 
I've every seen!!!

*wink*

Seriously, the first thing I'd say is that you need to document what the 
program is supposed to do! It's a bit much to expect us to guess what it 
does, and then see if it does what we think it should do. What's the 
purpose of the program?
