Good question. For starters, use the "+p" compiler option and link
with "-cl32" (and "-ml32" if math is used). That'll at least give you
the same compilation model that Lattice uses. Also the "edlib" functions
posted last year provide a number of useful library routines available
in Lattice/Unix libraries that aren't supported by Manx.

Not all of them, though...anyone know another source for Lattice/Unix
compatible library routines beyond what's in edlib?

For this particular example it would suffice to use the AmigaDos function:
	Execute("ls -l mydir", 0L, 0L);

This even supports '<' and '>'.
