:Now, the (RSN) v4.1k version of ls will continue to provide internal wildcard
:expansion, and both -m and -M flag support.  Baring any new significant bugs
:found, this should be the final 1.3 compatible release, and should work with
:2.0 just fine (but will not take advantage of, nor support 2.0 "goodies" like
:ExAll(), links, etc).

	And this one will fix that annoying problem with both 3.1 and 4.1 that
puts my 3000 into 'real, real slow speed' mode? It doesn't happen each time,
and Doug Walker said that he did a workaround by playing with max size for
windows... It seems like it doesn't bite until I've done something that I
need to be keep runing over the serial port or something else that requires
me to not miss characters. Once it's in the mode, I can't get out without
rebooting.

:The subsequent version (v5.0k ?) will be 2.0 only, and will support links (if
:they're actually "in there"), and will use the new file scanning calls, etc.
:It will NOT perform wildcard expansion internally, but will leave that chore
:up to the shell where it really belongs (IMO).  That is, it will NOT do so,
:if the command-line length limitation has truly been overcome, and has a limit
:that is some "reasonable" value (say 32K ... yes, I do have dirs with a couple
:thousand files in them ... USENET articles do pile up, ya know).  And with
:that change, the -M flag will be history, of course.

:At least that's the plan.  Now if I could just get the documentation on all
:the new stuff (couldn't make it to Atlanta, sigh) ...

	I thought CATS made the DevCon notes available to developers (for a
fee, of course) after Devcon? Check to see if you can buy them now, there's
a *lot* of good stuff in there.
