The One True "lc" predates V7; it was invented at the University of Waterloo under V6 (maybe earlier). The 4BSD version has been posted to comp.sources.unix. On Xenix, lc is a link to ls, and is effectively an alias for "ls -C". This is probably a Xenixism, based on a Berkeleyism. Why would anyone want their files sorted down instead of across?
