Or you could have aliased "ls" to use the -m and/or -M flags, Mark.  Version
4.1k of "ls" is nearing release, and will include env var support so you can
set the defaults *you* prefer via that mechanism, rather than having to use
aliases.

I am currently waiting for my v5.10 version of the SAS compiler to show up,
as I need to use the startup code from it in order to fix a 2.0/3000 problem.


As to the problem Willis reports, I have little to add to what Dave, Larry,
and others have mentioned in response to the original c.s.a posting on this
problem (that's why this is cross-posted, BTW).

It appears that ExNext() is not picking up these entries for some reason,
*probably* due to some form of disk corruption.  I would suspect a problem
with corrupt datestamps if ARP Dir/etc. cmds were being used, as ARP doesn't
"see" files with bad datestamps, but Willis mentioned several utilities that
have nothing in common with ARP (so far as I know), including "ls".

The only other thing I can think of is an operational problem where the files
in question were (somehow) moved to another dir, that happens to also be in
his path.  Wasn't there a old bug that could "move" files in strange ways
when moving "drawers" around in the WB environment?  Possible I suppose, but
not very likely ... besides, that had to have been in 1.2, I think.


No magic answers from me on this one ...
